Save bot's console to file

[Tom Yaacov]

I am new at robocode and started experimenting with writing my own robots. I'm using my bot's console output from battles for analysis and was wondering:

Is there a way to save my robot's console output to a file?

[Flemming Larsen]

Robocode is able to record the entire battle, and you can save it to a binary file (record) or XML record.

You'll need to enable the feature under Common Options from the Preferences menu.

* Enable replay recording

* Enable auto recording (automatically saves records)

You can save records manually and load them to replay the battle from the Battle Menu:

* Open Record

* Save Record

* Import XML Record

* Export XML Record

Also notice, that you can set debug properties on your robot with the setDebugProperty(String key, String value) method. Those properties will be written you the record. This is even better, than just recording from the console, as you can specify key-value pairs so you don't need to parse the data. :-)

I hope you find this feature usable for your purpose?

The XML file is perfect for analyzing battle data using a tool that can read XML data.

Best regards,
