Robocode is a fun programming game that teaches Java by letting you create Java “Robots,” real Java objects that battle it out onscreen against other robots. Robocode, with its snazzy graphics and hyper battles, is similar to a combination of Logo and CoreWars. While playing Robocode, you will learn how to write Java code, how to handle events, how to create inner classes, and more.

Latest Changes:
Fix: The CPU constant was not calculated the first time Robocode was started up
Fix: Removed ^M characters from the buildJikes.sh file so that the Jikes compiler can be built under Unix, Linux and Mac OS X
Fix: Fixed a security issue, where robot was able to access the internals of the Robocode game thru the AWT Event Queue
Change: A new package named robocode.robotinterfaces has been introduced, which contains pure Java robot interfaces for basic, advanced, interactive, junior and team robots
Change: Added a “Make all bullets white” option to the Rendering Options
Change: Lots of the Javadoc (HTML) documentation for the Robocode APIs were updated
