Praetorian503 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Description: WHAT IS ROBOCODE?Robocode is a programming game where the goal is to develop a robot battle tank to battle against other tanks in Java or .NET. The robot battles are running in real-time and on-screen.The motto of Robocode is: Build the best, destroy the rest!Besides being a programming game, Robocode is used for learning how to program, primarily in the Java language, but other languages like C# and Scala are becoming popular as well.Schools and universities are using Robocode as part of teaching how to program, but also for studying artificial intelligence (AI). The concept of Robocode is easy to understand, and a fun way to learn how to program.Robocode comes with its own installer, built-in robot editor and Java compiler, and only pre-requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to exist on the system where it must be installed. Hence, everything a robot developer needs to get started is provided with the main Robocode distribution file (robocode-xxx-setup.jar). Robocode also supports developing robots using external IDEs like e.g. Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, Visual Studio etc., which supports the developer much better than the robot editor in Robocode.The fact that Robocode runs on the Java platform makes it possible to run it on any operating system with Java pre-installed, meaning that it will be able to run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, but also UNIX and variants of UNIX. Note that Java 5.0 or newer must be installed on the system before Robocode is able to run. See the System Requirements for more information.Be aware that many users of Robocode (aka Robocoders) find Robocode to be very fun, but also very addictive. Robocode comes free of charge and is being developed as a spare-time project where no money is involved. The developers of Robocode are developing on Robocode because they think it is fun, and because they improve themselves as developers this way.Robocode is an Open Source project, which means that all sources are open to everybody. In addition, Robocode is provided under the terms of EPL (Eclipse Public License).Source - http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/ReadMe.htmlDisclaimer: We are a infosec video aggregator and this video is linked from an external website.
