Robocode Update

Thursday July 9, 2009

For you robot battlers out there, Robocode v1.7.1.3 has been released and can be downloaded at the usual spot. As well as several bug fixes there is now a new kind of Robot (in a beta form) – the RateControlRobot.

The RateControlRobot tries to simulate a more realistic robot. It can be controlled by setting a rate for its movements (e.g., to move forward 10 pixels per turn). The robot will continue to move at the specified rate until it's changed or it's been blown up..
