Basics
The robots in Gladiabots are autonomous and obey their Artificial Intelligence (AI). Bots can only execute one of the possible actions at a time. The AIs task is to determine what action to use in the current situation. Each bot checks its AI counterclockwise, searching for the first valid branch leading to an action.
 |
Rest of the page is a work in progress. |
The AI of a bot is shaped like an upside down tree. It can be composed of the following elements:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Root node | Each AI contains exactly one root node that defines the AIs starting point. It contains the name of the AI. |
| Action node | If a rectangular-shaped action node is evaluated true, the described action is executed for the current tick. An action node is considered invalid if the bot cannot perform it .
|
| Condition node | If an oval-shaped condition node is evaluated true, the elements connected to the bottom of the condition are evaluated counterclockwise. A condition node is considered invalid if the current situation doesn't fit it.

| Sub-AI | |
