All bots will be open source, and I'll be reading the code of each student's bot to check for plagiarism.
The students are at a complete ground level right now. I'm starting with the absolute basics (turnRight(90) makes your bot turn right 90 degrees.. etc) Then I'm teaching actual Java/programming fundamentals from there.
This all builds to them making their own LEGO/Tetrix robots later in the year, which will be in a C variant. I figure learning basic Java syntax as well as practical programming will serve them well for that.
I'm excited!
On a personal Robocode note, I've been thinking about maybe doing a new bot using the best parts of deBroglie's guts. A full on clean-up job sounds so tiring.. and it'd be nice to have a bot cleanly coded from the start. Maybe even with every method properly documented! Ahhh. Maybe it's a pipe-dream.
