My son Robert Hogg was very into RoboWar at one time. He is now a robotics
engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. He and I and three others have an iPhone
software business on the side called Toy Kite Software and we just released our
first game called iSamurai: Two-Player Sword Fight.

Lately I have been thinking that it would be awesome to have a
commercially-viable successor to RoboWar, perhaps running on the iPhone. Among
other things, it would provide a vehicle for teaching programming in schools and
clubs. We have an intern at our company learning C and I know that he would go
faster if he could program some robots.

... Actually, I think RoboWar could perhaps be done quite nicely in HTML5 using <canvas>. Would be interesting to try that. Responding here to Paul, the other...

I guess my take on the whole idea is... RoboWar as we knew it and loved it was a wonderful game, but as it was I think it was very much "played out". People...
