 Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 3:46 pm Post subject: programming game |
 |
|
I am looking for a game, and am wondering if anyone knows of anything like this (for linux, of course. preferably part of the portage tree).
I recently played this game I liked, called robocode, where you write AI scripts for these tanks that then battle it out. I am looking for other games like this. preferably using real programming languages, and I am curious if there are other ones other than the typical tank battle ones?
thanks! |

RealtimeBattle!
You can program the bots in basically any language - as long as it can read/write from stdin/stdout. It's really great and the best game of its kind I've ever seen.

RealTimeBattle is a programming game, in which robots controlled by programs are fighting each other. The goal is to destroy the enemies, using the radar to examine the environment and the cannon to shoot.
Here is a list of features of RealTimeBattle:
* Game progresses in real time, with the robot programs running as child processes to RealTimeBattle.
* The robots communicate with the main program using the standard input and output.
* Robots can be constructed in almost any programming language.
* Any number of robots can compete simultaneously if allowed by your operating system.
* A simple messaging language is used for communication, which makes it easy to start constructing robots.
* Robots behave like real physical object.
* You can create your own arenas.
* Highly configurable.
* It is distributed under the General Public License (GPL)
