Hi,

I’m sure many of you have already regularly used the development versions of the GameController from the Git repository, but there is now a (likely) final version available at: https://github.com/RoboCup-SPL/GameController3/releases/tag/v5.0.0-rc.3 I recommend reading the release notes, and especially testing the most passes leaderboard mode if you’re participating in that. It handles counting the points (1 click = 1 point, i.e. a „successful pass“ requires two clicks) and calculates the score including the time bonus at the end. For those of you stuck with Ubuntu 20.04 and similarly ancient Linux systems, there is the tauri1 branch which is functionally equivalent but doesn’t require libwebkit2gtk-4.1. I couldn't test it though, good luck!

A binary release of the TCM/GameStateVisualizer and other associated tools is also available at: https://github.com/RoboCup-SPL/GameController/releases/tag/RoboCup2025

This is also a good time for a final check that the colors in https://github.com/RoboCup-SPL/GameController3/blob/master/config/teams.yaml are correct for your team.

Bug reports, fixes, questions as usual either as GitHub issues or by email to a**a@uni-bremen.de

I wish everyone a safe trip to Salvador an exciting and successful RoboCup! - Arne
