The file you upload should be a Python file that looks something like this. You can download this file in the rps-engine repo at players/default/player.py and for more info on testing see: Game Engine.

# Simple example bot, written in Python.

from skeleton.actions import RockAction, PaperAction, ScissorsAction
from skeleton.bot import Bot
from skeleton.runner import parse_args, run_bot

import random

class Player(Bot):
    # A bot for playing Rock-Paper-Scissors.

    def __init__(self):
        # Called when a new matchup starts. Called exactly once.
        
        self.my_profit = 0
        self.history = []

    def handle_results(self, *, my_action, their_action, my_payoff, match_clock):
        # Called after a round. Called NUM_ROUNDS times.
        
        self.history.append((my_action, their_action))
        self.my_profit += my_payoff

    def get_action(self, *, match_clock):
        # Where the magic happens. Called when the engine needs an action from
        # your bot. Called NUM_ROUNDS times.
        #
        # Returns a RockAction(), PaperAction(), or ScissorsAction().
        
        return random.choice([RockAction(), PaperAction(), ScissorsAction()])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run_bot(Player(), parse_args())

Coming soon! Ask if you’d like to use this to upload multiple files or something else that doesn’t fit into a player.py file.
