Due to some changes between BWAPI versions, the code in source_bwapi_3_7/ and source_bwapi_4/ is slightly different, but with no changes in functionality.
This observer module is utilized by a TournamentModule. The following functions should be called:
CameraModule::onStart(BWAPI::Position startPos, int screenWidth, int screenHeight)The screen dimensions are used to center events on the screen. Should be called once at the start.
CameraModule::onFrame()Runs the code determining what the observer should be focusing on and handles camera movement. Should be called every frame.
CameraModule::moveCameraUnitCreated(BWAPI::Unit* unit)Should be called when a unit is created (for example in TournamentModule::onUnitComplete()). Is used to inform the observer about unit-creation events.
Many fields (such as cameraMoveTime, cameraMoveTimeMin, and watchScoutWorkerUntil) are declared public in the header file and can be changed while e.g. reading a config file. If not changed, the default values (set in the CameraModule constructor) will be used.
