Dear DialogJIGers, If you have any hesitation in running up Robocode because you think it's going to be a lot of work, your concerns are unfounded! I tried it out last night, and basically you have an automated installer that sets everything up in the space of a minute or two, including icons in the start menu and desktop. No fiddling with command lines required! Not only that, but the Robocode software actually includes an environment for editing and compiling your own robots, and gives a bunch of samples, so it really is very easy to get into. It only takes a minute to edit a robot to make it operate differently, compile it, and set it against a bunch of others. In other words, give it a go, if you haven't already - it really has been made as easy as possible to use. Btw, a thought about robot names - include your first name in the robot class name so we can work out who's winning when we run them up together.
