GABot was originally a school project from 2002 by Edmond Lau, Chris Odorjan and Richard Voino. The goal was to create a game playing prototype based on Genetic Algorithms for our Artificial Intelligence class at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Since the completion of the school project, the gang had many discussions (over beer and wine) on how to revive the project, enhance the code and publish the project somewhere on SourceForge. But after 8 years and much alcohol consumed, we have decided to push the original code to GitHub. Hopefully, someone out there will find this code useful.
If you find any comment funny, drop us a line! If you find any jokes offensive, probably because we spent so much time working on this during nights and watched too much Star Trek.

The code is based on C/C++ and older Qt (probably 2.x or 3.x, whichever one from 2002).
All filenames are lowercase, regardless of their contents. The directives at the start of each header file check for and define the name of the file, in uppercase, with the period replaced by an underscore.
Classes have their first letter capitalized, and if there are multiple words in their name, then they are concatenated (without a separator), and the first letter of each word is capitalized.
Variables in classes are named in the same way as classes.
Methods have their first letter in lowercase, but if they are made of multiple words, then the first letter of each successive word is capitalized. The words are also concatenated without a separator. Methods that read or alter a particular variable will generally have the same name as the variable, but the first letter will be in lowercase instead of capitalized. Overloading should be used to avoid using getVariable/setVariable pairs of methods.

you may have to create a symbolic link from libqt-mt.so to libqt.so.
