GUI won't build

[YSabarad]

There isn't a lot of documentation, so forgive me if I missed something but I was trying to run the gui.sln and the build failed. Debugging also failed because the debugging target "monopoly.exe" was missing.

No idea what to do from here, so was hoping for some documentation that could clarify this.

Hi Yash, You're right that the documentation about how to run the GUI is fairly limited. There is quite a lot of documentation about how to write AIs here: http://richard-shepherd.github.io/monopyly/index.html It's been a long time since I looked at this. Here are some things which should get things going: It looks like running a tournament with the available AIs fails. The sample AIs do work though. So you can: - Rename the AIs folder to AIs.old - Rename the SampleAIs folder to AIs - Run python main.py This should work and run a tournament. To build the GUI, it looks like Visual Studio is more fussy about building content downloaded from the web than it used to be. A number of the files are blocked. To unblock them in Powershell you can run this: Get-ChildItem -Path .\monopyly\ -Recurse | Unblock-File (This is assuming you are running from the folder one up from the monopyly code, and that the code is in a folder called 'monopyly'.) The GUI code should then build. To run the GUI and have it connect to a game, you need to uncomment the line below "Sends updates to the C# GUI" in main.py. That said - I think it will still fail to connect. The messaging uses zmq, and you will need to install this for Python and also protobuf. But... I think the versions used were quite old (2013) and I think that the latest versions are no longer compatible with the code. So if you want the GUI and the communication to it to work, you will need to do a bit of investigation / debugging. Good luck! Richard
