Since I'm new, I've had a few questions.
I'm running my code primarily on Linux, and I've noticed that the speedup code (to simulate a large number of battles very quickly) doesn't appear to work on Linux. Is this a known issue, or is there some sort of workaround? I'm running a fresh install of Sun's Java on Ubuntu 9.04.
I'm not sure which code you're talking about. Do you mean RoboResearch? I also run linux (Ubuntu 10.4), and Robocode runs fine on my system, as does RoboResearch... --Skilgannon 11:45, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
No, the main Robocode application is what's running slowly for me. I suppose it's possible that there's something wonky about my Java installation, but when I minimize the main window, on my Windows machine, it cranks through ~100-200 rounds in about a minute or two, whereas it's taking upwards of 15-30 seconds for a new round to initialize. --Icehawk78 17:23, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
