Amazingly, at roughly the same time you did, I started writing a clone of Robowar to run under DOS (Turbo C++ 3.0). It was one of my early projects when I...

Just for clarification:. The slaves get 4 points if the master survives even if they are dead? So the slaves are completely expendable and you should never...

It's a tragedy that you never finished it back then. I remember my last time as a RoboKid, all I wanted for RoboWar was a Win version. With the risk of...
I feel like it has been a very productive year. It's so nice to have veterans return and eager beginners again. I know my time as official tournament ...

Uh-oh Eric, looks like there's a bot that might contest Mar's historic moment; all categories went to The Eight. By the bye, this 18 bot 75x50 tournament was...
Thanks a lot! Due many critical points in the development, Camden has really helped the Windows version to progress forward. Without his support, I doubt that...
I've changed my mind. Forget changing missiles, mines, or anything else for that matter. Improve the old debugger! The debugger itself is very nice, and it's...
It all depend whether you mean the debugger in the Win or Mac version. If you mean the Win debugger, your suggestions could be implemented pretty easily. If...
I didn't know anyone wanted missiles changed! How? What? Why? I did get Prfnoff's version of Mac Robowar to Compile and Run the other day. I haven't done any...

Speaking of logs: Does Windows create a tournament log like the Mac does? One feature I always wanted to add was to provide the random seed value for each ...
