Hi Sarb,

Currently, there are two official bot APIs for Robocode Tank Royale:

*Java platform:*
 https://github.com/robocode-dev/tank-royale/tree/main/bot-api/java
*.Net platform*
: https://github.com/robocode-dev/tank-royale/tree/main/bot-api/dotnet

And at some point I will introduce an API for web as well.

If you want to build an API from scratch, you could choose to:
1) Create an API very similar to the current APIs that are made very=20
similar on purpose. Meaning that your Python API would have same classes=20
and methods, but in Python style of course.
2) Create your own version and just use communicate with the server in a=20
more "raw" fashion by communicating over a WebSocket.

If you choose option 2, you need to send and receive messages using the *pr=
otocol=20
*described here:
https://github.com/robocode-dev/tank-royale/blob/main/schema/schemas/game/R=
EADME.md

And the *schemas *(message formats) are available here (In JsonSchema=20
<https://json-schema.org/specification>format)
https://github.com/robocode-dev/tank-royale/tree/main/schema/schemas/game

If you choose option 1, you should create something similar to *BaseBot *as=
=20
a first step (like I did), which handles the basic communication between a=
=20
bot and the server.
Later you can create a *Bot *with more advanced methods as step 2.

Also note that you could use the existing APIs as is. For example, we have=
=20
Jython <https://www.jython.org/>, which is a Python implementation for the=
=20
existing Java Bot AP=20
<https://robocode-dev.github.io/tank-royale/api/java/dev/robocode/tankroyal=
e/botapi/package-summary.html>
I.
And you could use Python.Net <https://pythonnet.github.io/> for with the=20
existing .Net Bot API=20
<https://robocode-dev.github.io/tank-royale/api/dotnet/api/Robocode.TankRoy=
ale.BotApi.html>
.

I you want to do a real Python API that are similar to the existing one, I=
=20
will be happy to assist you. =F0=9F=91=8D
I guess most code from the existing platforms can be translated without a=
=20
big hassle for Python. I did the same for Java to .Net, and I will do it=20
again later for the coming web API. =F0=9F=98=8A

Best regards,
- Flemming
