Bots starting position randomizing is not working

It is good that you find it. I already forgot what it was. Strange thing I did not remember to set it up, so some bug triggered it back then.

However, it doesn't work when set in robocode.properties.

And from source code I know that this config is valid only in battle files.

And with a bug of robocode, once you open intro.battle, then the first bot's initial position will be fixed as long as another battle file is not opened. Neither "New Battle" nor "Restart" works.

So did yours appear in robocode.properties?

I think it was in a battle file. I was honing behaviour against a particular bot. I usually do this by setting a battle file.
