please help

I'm new to coding and would like someone to refer me to a link that can help teach me how to "write" my first code for my first robot. All the websites and blogs I've seen just show peoples codes but I don't understand what they did to change anything. -Thanks

You only need to make the thread in one place. Far as I aware, most of us are in the Eastern Standard Time Zone (GMT-5), so we might not be able to respond immediately.

As for robot, well they are written in java, so a basic primer on java programming might be helpful. If you have never programmed before you might want to read into it first. It is a pretty abstract science.

Aside from that, a robot is just a Java Class with special methods corresponding to specific events that robot may encounter. Such as the onScannedRobot event which occurs when an enemy is scanned, or the run() method which occurs when the robot is started.

Browsing the wiki is a great way to learn more about it. Robocode/My_First_Robot is a good starting page.

For Java specifically, the primer Chase linked to looks good. If you're totally new to programming, something like Codecademy might be another good place to start. Feel free to post here if you have specific questions.
