Taking Action

To control your MOB-BOT, you will be using Enums to determine which action(s) take place each turn.

Take Turn Method

The take turn method will be where you program your MOB-BOT. The actions variable passed in is a list of ActionType Enums. Set your action(s) by typing the following:

actions = [ActionType.EXAMPLE_ENUM,]

Make sure to keep the return actions at the end of the method or your actions won’t be received!

NOTE: If you will only provide a single enum to the list, add the comma at the end.

Action Management

There are key things to note about how MOB-BOT will behave each turn as you create your actions.

Movement

If you desire for MOB-BOT to move, make sure that the first action in your actions list is an ActionType enum for movement. Since it is possible to move multiple Tiles in one turn, if the first enum is for movement, the rest of the list will be filtered to only movement enums. The list size will then be based on MOB-BOT’s movement speed.

For example, if MOB-BOT unlocked the Superior Drivetrain Tech to increase its movement speed to 3, an actions list of:

actions = [ActionType.MOVE_DOWN, ActionType.MOVE_DOWN, ActionType.MINE, ActionType.MOVE_RIGHT, ActionType.MOVE_RIGHT]

will be filtered to:

actions = [ActionType.MOVE_DOWN, ActionType.MOVE_DOWN, ActionType.MOVE_RIGHT]

Now MOB-BOT can only move the first 3 movement enums specified.

Non-movement Actions

In your actions list, if the first ActionType enum is not a movement option, that will be the only action taken for that turn. This includes placing dynamite or traps, mining, defusing traps, and buying new Techs. Recall that selling ores is done automatically as long as MOB-BOT ends the turn on its company base.

Buying Techs

Buying Techs is done by using the specific Enums while MOB-BOT is on its base. Attempting to buy a Tech otherwise won’t work.

Defusing Traps

Defusing traps is done by using an enum to defuse in a range from MOB-BOT.
