To help whoever works on this project next, I am including everything relevant that I have written in my notes.

Possible future tasks

• Create module-level random instances for isolation, allowing easier debugging and unit testing
• Delete old branches: https://github.com/ALLAN-DIP/baseline_bots/branches/all
• Convert allenumd Docker Hub account to an organization so we don't need to share a password?
• Make sure DipNet retreats are being parsed properly
• Add CTO support for non-aggressive moves
• Ensure our own power is never an ally, neutral, or enemy
• Use functions on Game to create messages and intent logs, which should be cleaner than directly making objects
• Make DAIDE orders sortable by str representation
• Resolve problem that Dipnet-to-DAIDE conversion relies on the current board state and upon other orders due to the lack of information. It also is not really possible to discuss hypothetical situations.
• Go through Python checks from PyCharm in daidepp
• Resolve the province_no_coast in SUP MTO problem because it's lossy during a round trip
• Check test coverage in baseline_bots
• Determine the underlying syntax for DipNet orders. Here are some resources:

  • https://github.com/SHADE-AI/diplomacy/blob/c1f15de4be6b5f3700d215257d3017d0bdc4c353/diplomacy/engine/game.py#L2127

• Make the message loop atomic, i.e., don't send messages and intent logging until the end of an iteration, making sure that sending is not cancellable
• Figure out if the unorderable unit problem is caused by us not deepcopying the map when doing rollouts
• Request that DAIDE be modified to not require a convoy list because neither the rules nor the engine require it. Neither of them even expect it, even though it is allowed to be explicitly specified
• Resolve problem with not being able to convert valid DipNet orders into DAIDE
• Determine if daidepp properties can be cached because the objects are frozen
