soccermonitor with integrated logplayer

displays and logs a game while connected to the server
can load unix logfiles (and compresses it to 1 MB Windows format)
play logfiles, fast forward, slow motion, single step.

basic agent

socket communication
basic actions
perception parsing
graphical displaying of perceptions

Coach framework - for coach mode

These programs are implemented in MS Visual C++ 5.0 using the MFC class library.

Soccer User Library (C++)

Author(s): Oliver Langer (Oliver.Langer@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de)

Available versions: scu-0.5 (original copy), scu-0.5 (local copy)
Documentation available: Yes">Yes
Description: The Soccer-User-Library is a library written for those, who want to develop clients for the soccer server. The library is object oriented and exports objects to:

manage (open, close, read, write) a socket based communication (class c_connection)
control either a player (class c_player) or a coach (class c_coach)
realize a message loop.

It is based on a yacc/lex grammar and therefor it is easy to adapt the parsing to work with new protocols.
