| − | == Event Priority == | + | | title = Sub-pages |
| − | The documentation for event priorities is unclear. [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/AdvancedRobot.html#setEventPriority-java.lang.String-int- setEventPriority] says lower values are higher priority while [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/AdvancedRobot.html#getEventPriority-java.lang.String- getEventPriority] says higher values are higher priority. Testing confirms the later is correct.

| − | The documentation also has errors for the default priorities for several events.
| + | = About Me = |
| − | | + | I was first introduced to robocode in around 2010 as part of my undergraduate computer science course. For our class competition I wrote a simple melee bot using minimum risk movement and a buggy linear targeting gun which came second overall. I've been fascinated with robocode ever since but a combination of lack of time (and dislike of Java) has kept me from writing anything more serious or entering the roborumble. I'm hoping 2024 will be the year that changes. |

| − | == Execute Method == | |
| − | The documentation for the [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/AdvancedRobot.html#execute-- execute] method says that it '''must''' be called otherwise set* methods will never be performed. This doesn't seem to be strictly true as a robot that uses set methods to spin its radar, gun and body in the [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/Robot.html#run-- run] method will spin even without calling [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/AdvancedRobot.html#execute-- execute].
| |
| − | == Skipped Turns ==
| |
| − | The documentation for [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/SkippedTurnEvent.html SkippedTurnEvent] says a robot will be removed from the battle after skipping 30 turns however a robot using the example code will skip many more turns than this without being removed from the battle.
