Quagent Documents

Students! You do NOT need to make a version of quake, and you should not do it! It's too big. Use the pre-compiled one prepared by over the years by TAs Sloan, Proscia, and Bhole. Read all about How To at Getting Going With Quagents.

Otherwise, Quagent docs, including "how to create your own bots", are now kept centrally at URCS's research/quagents page.

Resources there include overview of the Quagent's properties and world, details on the Quagent Communications Protocol, some details of the Quagent configuration file, and examples and tutorials for Quagent programming.
