Talk:Robocode/Getting Started

Robocode Basics redirect

Are we sure that Robocode Basics should redirect here and not to Robocode? The Robocode page seems more like an introductory page than this. --AaronR 20:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmm.. good question. What do we really mean when we say "Robocode Basics". I think of the basics I should know to get started, not what Robocode is. Perhaps we should drop the "Robocode Basics" page, and do no redirect. We could also make a real Robocode Basics, which kind of explain what exacly the Robocode basics a newcomer should familiarize himself/herself with in order to know all the basics? If you are really against the redirect, then just change it. ;-) --Fnl 22:47, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, at present, this page assumes that you know what Robocode is and that you have already downloaded and installed it. The first thing a beginner is likely to do would be to click on the Robocode Basics link on the home page. Perhaps the name of this page is a misnomer; it seems like "Robocode/Running a Battle" or something along those lines would be more appropriate. --AaronR 01:36, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
