PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
Python implementation that manages a UDP connection to RLViser, it launches the RLViser binary from the current working directory upon first calling any render function.
The backbone of RLGym's env.render()
functionality.

# Create example arena

# Setup example arena
car = arena.add_car(rs.Team.BLUE)
car.set_state(rs.CarState(pos=rs.Vec(z=17), vel=rs.Vec(x=50), boost=100))
