@section{How to play}

To run the game, type 

@racketblock[(require (planet "dynablaster.rkt" ("jeeve" "dynablaster.plt" 1 8)))
             
             (run)]

Use left, right, up and down keys to move blue player in the scene.

Drop bombs with space key and attack the red player.

Good luck !

@section{Customize the behavior of the robot}

@racket[(run my-move-robot-function)]

Before, define a basic custom move-robot function. For example :

@racketblock[(define (my-move-robot-function r d)
               (if (empty? r)     ;; robot is not dead ?
                   d
                   (if (empty? (sprite-left r (lambda (x) #t) d)) ;; something at left of robot ? 
                       (go-left r d)                              ;; go to left !
                       d)))]

Also, you can start the game in automatically mode, the blue player is controlled by a function like the robot.
So you can easily compare the behavior of two algorithms.

@racket[(run my-move-robot-function my-move-player-function)]

You can use these functions and predicates :

@itemlist[
          
          @item{The player and robot sprite : @racket[player robot]}
           
           @item{Sprite informations : @racket[sprite-x sprite-y sprite-dx sprite-dy sprite-energy]}
           
           @item{Sprite actions  :  @racket[go-left go-right go-up go-down drop-bomb]}
           
           @item{Sprite predicates : @racket[bomb? fire? player? robot? blocked? brick? rock?]}
           
           @item{Sprite search :  @racket[sprite-left sprite-right sprite-up sprite-down search-sprite]}
           
           @item{Distance between two sprites : @racket[distance]}
           
           @item{Default move robot function : @racket[move-robot-default]}]



Do not hesitate to send me your move-robot functions (@author+email["jeeve" "jvjulien@free.fr"]) 

@section{Default move-robot fuuction}

For information, the default move-robot has only random and defensive behavior. 
The code corresponding is

@racketblock[(define (move-robot-default r d)
               (let* ([x (random 100)]
                      [danger? (lambda (x) (or (bomb? x) (fire? x)))]
