ok so first of all this is a completely ripoff of the java game Robocode so if you've got that this will make a lot more sense

Basically we have a game with robots that can move and shoot but nothing to actually trigger these actions. Your job is to script the robots intelligence to detect others and shoot. You don't get to add anything else, you only get to fire the methods it provides.

now since I no longer regularly use RS I have no idea what the easiest way to do this is

Uh, the first bit, ya. I think I would only have certain functions open like turn, shoot, etc. but no access to 'world'. Otherwise teleportation and st00f would be possible

:l

I'd maybe copy Robocode even more and design an event that's fired when the radar of one bot "sees another"

Actually, download Robocode, try it out. It's in Java but has loads of sample bots anyway. Also

IT'S FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee

Has anyone tried DarwinBots? It's also FREEEEEEEEEEeeee.

I based my four evolving AIs' "DNA" on the DarwinBots language. The fifth one (that I just started yesterday! :D) is slightly different, though.

actually it's not a great way to learn java but at least it's visual

If you want to use Java properly,

ECLIPSE

Java doesn't look that hard. I've read some on it already, too.

I only started on Monday.. it's only difficult if you've never done OOP before

btw you're forbidden from saying "Java doesn't look that hard" till you know all about class heirachy

I've read a few books on OOP languages. And a guide focusing on Java for the Android platform.

BTW class hierarchy isn't THAT bad...

This is an epic idea.

You'd need to add functions to "see".
Robot:Look("Front")
Which would raycast and return what ever it hits?

@mustyoshi:

my plan is to have some kinds of built-in functions like

rotateTurret(90)

and possibly radian equivalents. Also, they'd have to spawn in random locations in random directions. Then they have no idea where they are and which way "front" is. Devious.
