Yes, and no. 1. Plans are to release it under the GPL. The source code I'm using for reference is GPLed, so if I used any of it verbatim I'd have to release ...

Aww shucks... thanks... I'm reusing almost all of the engine code... which means few to no header files and lots of globals and externs. I think at some point,...
Theo, You're probably right. THEORETICALLY, it should make no difference what order the bots are executed in a chronon. To completely fix this issue, there...
... If every robot had their own Processor object/struct, including a "program counter", interrupt queue, and copies of all of the registers, then context...
You know.... that could definitely be interesting... I can see some potential... like a randomly generated somewhat convoluted single- or multiple- path maze...
The slow-down doesn't come from the context switching. It would come from re-calculating the positions of the shots and robots, and checking for death and the...
Regarding the magic number 150, this can be computed on the fly based on the the cpu speeds of the robots in the current battle. In fact, if they all have 50...
Well, the only things that actually change positions between chronon breaks are robots executing MOVE instructions (one of the reasons that I hate the way MOVE...
The current scheduler, shot tracker, death checking, and the instruction interpreter are all separate functions. The scheduler ( doCombat() ) calls each of the...
I guess I would tend toward trying to make the robots execute (apparently) simultaneously on the chronon breaks. It gets more complicated as you think though...

I think this would be the simplest and best method of accomplishing the task. I'll add that to the battle engine in the Carbon version. Unless anyone dissents....

Great! I see how it's working now. I've isolated the code that allows this to happen and I'll patch it to do damage to BOTH robots. Thanks, -- Sam Rushing...

I would be. I've always thought that Robowar should be set up that way. However, I haven't found time to play in two years so the chance of much development...
