822: RoboCup Software

I stole and rewrote some of the basic robocup clients. Mostly, I upgraded the code to object-oriented C++ (as much as possible), added comments and parsing functions when needed. The results are below. You will find this software extremely useful as a starting point for your projects.

Most of you will probably use the simpleclient, which is a C++ roboclient written for Windows NT.
If you rather do it in Java you should use the soccerclient. The soccerclient even has code that follows the ball and kicks it towards the goal. That is, it almost does PS1.
Finally, I also have the roboclient which is in C++ and developed on Linux. Unfortunately, since the tournaments will be held on NT machines you need to make sure that your code will work there. I have been able to use the same SimpleClient class on both Linux and NT. On each I simply use a different UDPSocket class. roboclient and simpleclient both implement a UDPClass with the same API but with machine-dependent implementations.
