Are you a programming enthusiast looking to simulate Hearthstone using C++? Look no further! This blog will guide you through the setup and execution of RosettaStone, a Hearthstone simulator that leverages C++ with reinforcement learning. We’ll even troubleshoot some common issues you might encounter along the way!

Requirements

• Operating System:
  • macOS (10.14 or later)
  • Ubuntu (18.04 or later)
  • Windows (Visual Studio 2017 or later)
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
• Programming Language: C++17
• Tools:
  • CMake
  • Visual Studio 2017 (for Windows users)

Quick Start Guide

Ready to dive in? Here’s how to build and run RosettaStone on your local machine.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Start by cloning the RosettaStone repository from GitHub. Open your command line or terminal and execute:

git clone https://github.com/utilForever/RosettaStone.git --recursive
cd RosettaStone

Step 2: Using the Python API

If you plan to use the Python API, install it using:

pip install -U .

Step 3: Build the C++ API

For macOS, Linux, or WSL, run the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

For Windows users, use:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" Win64
MSBuild RosettaStone.sln /p:Configuration=Release

Step 4: Running the Simulator

To start the console simulator, use:

bin/RosettaConsole

If you wish to run the GUI simulator, remember to check out the RosettaStone GUI.

Using Docker

If you prefer using Docker, pull the image and run the console simulator as follows:

docker pull utilforever/rosettastone:latest
docker run -it utilforever/rosettastone
# Inside Docker container
app/build/bin/RosettaConsole

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of RosettaStone as a complex recipe for a gourmet dish (the Hearthstone simulator). The ingredients (various C++ code files) must be combined correctly (compiled) using specific kitchen tools (compilers like g++, clang++, and Visual Studio). Each step is crucial; you mix, bake, and finally serve up a delicious simulation experience. Missing an ingredient or misusing a tool could lead to a less than perfect result!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues along the way, don’t panic! Here are a few tips to help you stay on track:

• Compiler Issues: Ensure you have the correct version of the compiler appropriate for your OS and the necessary build tools (such as CMake) installed.
• Dependency Errors: Check if all required libraries are installed. Sometimes, missing packages can lead to build failures.
• Running Issues: If the simulator does not start, double-check your build directory and ensure you are executing the correct binary.
