Discuss debuggin

[LaurensRietveld]

We should discuss debugging of these bots a bit more:

Game engine only provides nullpointer exceptions when a bot crashes, instead of a detailed exception message. How I usually debug this:

• Run bot separately, e.g. python SomeBot.py, and check whether we get syntax errors
• Do same as above, and type go sometext, and check whether there is some other error
• If bot still doesnt work, add lots of pw.log statements, and see which ones print, and which ones do not.

We should:

• put this in the documentation
• discuss between us how this influences this course. The debugging troubles increases the dependencies on the course supervisors, decreases the enjoyment of many students, and increases their frustration ;)
