Build a Simple Robocode Robot Question
Download and install Robocode. Open the New Battle Dialog by choosing New from the Battle menu. In the list of available robots to battle there is a sample robot called 'Fire'. It's designed to only move once it has been fired upon, whilst continually spinning its gun around to look for a target to shoot. Can you build a simple robot that can beat Fire over a standard ten round battle?
If you look around the RoboWiki or explore the code of the sample robots you should find enough information to get you going.
