According to the Wiki's description "Crobots is a programming game
released for the first time by Tom Poindexter in December, 1985. The
robots are controlled by a program written in a stripped-down version of
C. The robot's mission is to seek out and destroy other robots, each
running different programs. The robots can be controlled in order to
move around the battlefield, scan the environment to find enemies and
fire at enemies using a cannon. [...]"
Despite the birthdate, Crobots is still an exciting and fascinating mind
competition through a software C programming.
