Hello all! Even though I've left RoboWar coding, RoboWar is still in my mind sometimes. It would be great if someone intelligent and innovative person picked...
Oh I forgot to mention I also did some improvement TacNukes as well. The MEGANUKE' register is now avalible for bots equipped with TacNukes. It has a larger...
Just checking in - I used to love playing the original Robot Wars on the Apple II when I was a kid, but never really had anyone to compete against. I found...
Welcome Eric! (as much as we can at this point) You are right in assessing robowar to most have died out. Some of us still kick around the mailing list, but...
I have remade RoboWar entirely in C++ (not reviewing the VB source code). However, I do not of how copyright issues apply. How should i progress in order to...

Don't worry about the licence. The ol' C code is published under the GNU licence. As far as I understood from your mail you did not use that code either. So...
Hi, I'm glad you decided to pick up on the project. I hope that we can play the game soon and that it will spark some new light into it. :) One question:...
Hi, When I ran the program last spring (when it was in a very unprofessional form) I got the impression that it was faster than RW5. By then, all registers...
... Based on my experience with RoboWar II, the limiting factor in execution speed is graphics, not robot processing. Robots at 1000 or even 10,000 ...

Great, I can't wait to start writing higher cpu bots. It will also allow new people to more easily write something. :) Erik, I've read over your robowar...
Im afraid I can't :). My original intention was to make it 3D or eventually on the surface of a sphere (a moebius band was considered as well :)) so i decided...

Yeah, well since you were gone I resigned as coder/manager. I was heavily neglecting other important things in my life for programming. I'm not coming back....
... I'm still interested, but I still think there should be a change first to make it easier to program something. I believe the most simple solution would be...
Hey, everybody. It's been over ten years since I started playing, and I assumed RoboWar was dead; nice to see I was wrong! I'm wondering if anyone out there...
I'm interested! I'm also useless on the development side of things, so all I can promise is to work on some robots over winter break. ... wouldn't be ... ...
