This document provides an overview of Robocode basics, including the three parts of a robot that can rotate independently, movement in turns and pixels, firing bullets with varying power levels, coding the main loop and event handlers, and resources for additional information like community wikis and documentation.
Robocode basics
- 1. Robocode Basics ubolonton
- 4. Movement • Time is measured in turns (“3cks”). • Distance is measured in pixels. • Robot can move no farther than 8 pixels per turn. If commanded to move farther, it will take several turns. • The same goes for turning of body parts.
- 5. Firing • Bullets can have power of 0.1‐3 • Firing a bullet costs an equal amount of HP • But a hit “leechs” back HP • Weak bullets move faster
- 6. Coding • Main loop: what to do each turn • Events: what to do when something happens – onScannedRobot – onHitByBullet – onHitRobot – … • See the javadoc directory in the installa3on folder for reference
- 10. Trick: Linear Aim‐ahead • Assume the enemy moves in straight line with constant speed (very effec3ve against human player)
- 11. Resources • hYp://robowiki.net/: community wiki with a lot of informa3on • hYp://robocode.sourceforge.net/ developerWorks.php: links to ar3cles from IBM • hYp://rmitc.org/: RMITC official page, with ar3cles and source code of last semester robots • The javadoc folder in your robocode installa3on directory
