CS 3230 - Description of Robocode Project

You will all need to write a little fighting robot and turn it in the class period after the Midterm.

Stuff I'm expecting to see:

• At the very least, a class derived from Robot or AdvancedRobot. Please include part of your name in the name of your robot. Examples include: "PingBot", "LanceAlot", "XhinStriker", "The Valinator", "AJ-D2", "RoboWendy", or something along those lines.
• Code that moves your robot around the battlefield.
• Code that scans for other robots (turns the radar), including event-handling code that does something when you scan another robot.
• Code that turns the turret and fires at one of your enemies! (where enemies == your classmates!)

What do I do with this robot after I write it?

The class after the Midterm, we will meet in the lab and have a big "showdown" where we load all of your robots onto the instructor's computer and have 3 heats with 10 rounds of battle each. These battles will be displayed on the projector for everyone to see. (Your grade is not dependent on winning the battle, but everyone will think you're a little girly-man if you lose.)

Also, on the same night, I want you to turn in to me a printout of your robot's code with your name on it.
