Hi Robocode Developer
My University is going to have a robocode game, but we need some
modify.
Can we add some wall, obstacle in to a map.
So a map look like a maze
Can we do that :D

Hi Mr Bond,

Joshua, member of this list is working on extension, which should make
this possible. It is rather difficult task, so it will take few months
till he/we do that correctly. Until then, you have to wait or bring
your own high quality implementation. Or because we are opensource,
you could take sources and hard-code the new battlefield directly into
engine, for your purposes. But such hack would not be accepted as
contribution back. If you are interested to help us, I think Joshua
would appreciate tester, as soon as he finishes heavy lifting.

Cheers
Pavel

btw: I would appreciate your real name and name of university.

Hi Mr. Bond,

If you are really interesting in this, the source code of Joshua's
work is available at
https://robocode.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/robocode/robocode/branches/custom-battlefields-workspace/
via SVN. The developer guide for building Robocode can be found at
http://robowiki.net/wiki/Robocode/Developers_Guide_for_building_Robocode
Note that this is in really early development stage, use it at your
own risk.

Best Regards,
Nat

PS. I would appreciate your real name and name of university too.

Oh hi Developer
Sorry for my nick name
My name is Trinh Hoang Nhu and I'm Vietnamese. My University is Intertational University a member od Vietnam National University
Thank you for reply my question.
I'm willing to be tester or developer. You can show me how to do that, which class is control the tank moving (when it collide, when it hit wall, hit other bot), i'll try to modify it. :D
Temporary I'll write the bot that has function of wall, It stand at specific position, it wont fire.
Thank you

Hi Trinh

unfortunately most of us do the Robocode as free time activity. That
means we don't have plenty of time to spend with other people. We
can't afford to teach people how to program or how to orientate in
existing solutions.
In this email forum we rather seek for self-driven people to bring
ideas and solutions to the Robocode community.

Please ask your teachers if they could help. This article may help as well.

I haven't heard anything of late about configurable battle fields with Robocode.

There was something called "Virtual Combat" that included a modified version of Robocode with walls, but I think it was more of a Capture the Flag style gameplay than mazes: http://sourceforge.net/p/robocode/discussion/116458/thread/13821d9c/ ... You can also see a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuE-3fGXsGQ

I've recently released a Lua programming game called BerryBots that includes walls and mazes, if that interests you: http://berrybots.com

Hi, 

Is it possible to use tiled map editor (http://www.mapeditor.org/) along with libgdx (have default support for tiled map editor) for robocode battle field? If I want to implement it myself, where is the start point of robocode? I am new to robocode ...

Thanks!

This looks like something that a student of mine is interested at working on. I've posted elsewhere on this. Interesting that it's come independently from another place. Also the berrybots suggestion might be a more suitable alternative, given that "hacking the engine" isn't acceptable.
