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.

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. |

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. |

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 |
