<p><b>New page</b></p><div>I'm new to robocode, and the learning curve is quite steep.<br />
<br />
To phrase that another way, at one point my robot was locking on quite nicely to other robots, but subsequent versions (and prior versions) never appear to do anything sensible.<br />
<br />
I'm an experienced programmer with lots of C and a bit of Java under my belt, so it's not the programming I'm struggling with.<br />
<br />
I can get help with the specific physics questions (how do you get the angle between two headings? for example), so it's not that either.<br />
<br />
I really just need someone who I can fire off a question "what does this do?" or "how does this work?" and get a simple response or a link to a wiki page.<br />
<br />
I think if some sort of "big brother" mentorship programme were set up, a lot of people who would otherwise be put off by the massive learning curve might be encouraged to join in. More robots = more challenge = more fun. Right? :)<br />
<br />
Until such a programme is set up, is there anybody out there who'd like to take a newbie under their wing? Please? :)</div>Cbrowne
