... Yes indeed, such a thing would be a nifty solution. However in that case I think we should put a limitation on range',radar', and probe' (or otherwise also...
I guess I will give my 2 cents. As I said before, I think Robowar is largely a programming game. Therefore I think CPU should continue to be a limiting...

My son Robert hated math with a passion after second grade. Later, after watching me, he got into Robotwar on the Apple II, and then he moved on to Robowar on...
You said, "it is too hard for most young kids (10-12)." Could you elaborate any more about why you think this? For my own experience, I first got into robowar...
I'm in full support of Matt's new registers, though I would suggest the minor change of "LEFT" being the standard. Then, with "LEFT," P would then correspond ...
I like your suggestions. Not sure if I understand the honorable mention or not. Caveots: if you want energy it should be cheaper to buy energy than shields...

By honorable mention I meant that it was a cool idea, but I don't think we should make that change. Yes, normal bullets would have a harder time against ...
Hmm, How about a register like chargeshield'? You store some value of energy in there, to a maximum per round. This will be added to the shield. I completely...
... "Chargeshield": not sure I know what you mean. Is this to auto-recharge shields lost due to decay or a hit? For example: if I set shields to 10 and ...

Hey Randy! Good to hear from you. Mostly I just wanted to say I agree with the idea of preserving old bots. But preservation should have a limit. Which is...
Well, you're probably gonna get a bunch of new players soon (and they aren't gonna be looking for freshness in the game since they won't have the history) so...
Then I ask, which of the below would you consider as "seriously hampering" backward compatibility? Or does your second paragraph imply that any change is too ...
I think changes that streamline coding are fine, since coding technique is always changing. I'm more concerned with the introduction of powerful new weapons...

Hello all... I'm currently thinking that, although it _is_ true that this is all but a dead group at this point because there hasn't been much activity in ...
It *has* gotten to be fairly silly with spam. Moderation seems regrettable but useful. It didn't seem like we got this much spam before, but maybe it was just...
