IBM's Robocode: A Platform for Learning AI Contest Entry Published
IBM's Robocode: A Platform for Learning AI Review - IBM's Robocode: A Platform for Learning AI Nick Loadholtes' contest article has just been published. This platform is not only a fun tool for learning how to program in Java, but is also a powerful environment for testing out AI concepts. This article is an introduction to the platform and how it can be used for AI programming. http://ai-depot.com/Essay/Robocode.html | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Monday 06 January, 03:00 Reply
OMEGA revisited I've been looking for years for something similar to what I consider to be one of the best computer games ever, OMEGA (by Origin). I still have the original for the C64. Once in awhile I crack open the book for a good read. Anyone else ever play that game? It's more or less the same concept as Robocode except they created a custom programming language for the tanks. Each function had a "cycle cost" so you had to watch what you were doing. It had a few bugs but you could do some fairly advanced things. Anyways, great info about Robocode, thanks for the essay! Looking forward to getting into it. | AlanBarnes 1 posts. Tuesday 07 January, 23:58 Reply
Motivating This looks like a great little game which might actually motivate me to learn some more AI techniques! Thanks for introducing it so well. | Andy Coates 13 posts. Thursday 09 January, 08:43 Reply
Thanks! Thanks, I'm glad everyone liked the article. The robocode stuff is just so much fun (and so useful) I just had to write up a little something about it. :) -Nick | Nick Loadholtes 2 posts. Monday 13 January, 09:26 Reply
