Currently we do not yet have any wrappers. Right now, the only automated playing approach would indeed require using that Java API.
We leave the choice of how to handle this stuff to the organisers of every individual game's Olympiad. I'm not sure for how many of them final decisions have already been made. To be sure, I think it would be safer to contact the organisers of all the games you're interested in participating in. If they ask us to set up specific communication protocols, we may still add that.
It is also a possibility that participants will just be expected to run their own programs, look at the moves their programs want to make, and then manually enter them in Ludii's GUI and send the moves over the network that way; this would most closely resemble the non-remote situations where participants would manually make the moves for their programs on a physical board.
