@csharper had some questions about bot development, so I expanded the development guide and example bots / templates to answer these:

How to Develop Bots - Guide

Changing from C# to Elm is a pretty significant transition, and can be a big pill to swallow for most. I’m very familiar and comfortable with C#, but I’ve never seen Elm. Is there a location where you’ve created an introduction on how to develop bots in this new way? I see that you linked to a guide (https://github.com/Viir/bots/blob/master/guide/how-to-develop-eve-online-bots.md) but this really only seems to lightly cover setup of the development environment, but says nothing really on how to…

These questions were driving a lot of progress and the whole process took more than two weeks. Following are some of the results of answering @csharpers questions:

• Improvement of the file structure in the example bots and templates. Bot.elm as a common entry point.

• Extension of the development guide to illustrate the overall bot architecture.

• Simplified repository structure to help the code examples.

• Addition of the bot template send-input-to-window: bots/implement/templates/send-input-to-window at main · Viir/bots · GitHub

• Addition of the bot template locate-object-in-window: bots/implement/templates/locate-object-in-window at main · Viir/bots · GitHub

• Extension of the development guide to explain testing of sensor parts of bots and how these are coded.
