Chapter 20, "IPC with send" discusses TclRobots in detail. TclRobots.pm allows you to write Robot Control Programs in Perl instead of Tcl.
$TclRobots::VERSION = '2.1'; package TclRobots; # This module implements a thin API that interfaces Perl with tclrobots # version 2, written by Tom Poindexter. This means that you can write # RCPs (Robot Control Programs) in your favorite language - Perl - and # do battle with all the existing Tcl RCPs. # # This module is rather wierd - you're never supposed to use it! # Instead, it's used when tclrobots runs an instance of perl, at which # time this module is loaded and begins execution on behalf of your # RCP. It creates the main window of the required dimensions and at # the proper location on the display, and adds all the widgets, text, # and images # # When instructed by tclrobots, this module then loads your Perl RCP # (via require, so be sure your code returns a TRUE value!), and the # contest begins. From that point on, incoming tclrobot messages are # dispatched to Perl emulation handlers, and Perl RCP commands are # converted to Tcl syntax and sent to tclrobots - the communication is # via Tk::send() and Tk::Receive(). # # Stephen.O.Lidie@Lehigh.EDU, 1999/05/07. # Stephen.O.Lidie@Lehigh.EDU, 2000/04/13, for Perl 5.6.0. use Exporter; @ISA = qw/Exporter/; @EXPORT = qw/after alert cannon damage dputs drive dsp heat loc_x loc_y scanner speed team_declare team_get team_send tick update/; use File::Basename; use Tk; use Tk qw/after catch/; use Tk::widgets qw/Dialog/; use subs qw/_arrowshape__configure_widgets__customize_window_ _disable_rcp__insult_rcp__destroy_rcp__load_rcp_ _see_variable__set_variables__setup_window__start_rcp_/; use vars qw/$_after_ $_alert_on_ $_debug $_dl_ $_fc_ $_fl_ $_fs_ $_mw_ $_ping_proc_ $_rcp_filename_ $_resume_ $_robot_ $_start_ $_step_ $_tclrobots_/; use strict; ############################################################################## # # Note, we run tainted so that send() and receive() work.
