Welcome to the RoboWiki
Collecting Robocode knowledge since 2003.

What is Robocode?

  • Robocode is a programming game. It can be used to teach or learn programming in Java or .NET. It can serve as a platform for exploring AI and machine learning techniques. Or it can be a competitive, addictive hobby that eats up all your time and CPU cycles.

A few robots worth checking out...

Development Tools

  • RoboRunner / RoboJogger – The latest and greatest in batch battle running, these tools make it easy to run loads of battles against your favorite test bed, or to run your bot through a challenge.
  • Eclipse – Get Robocode setup with Eclipse, one of the most popular Java IDEs.
  • Robocode API – Not a "tool", per se, but you'll need to get familiar with it!
  • Graphical Debugging – Using Robocode's graphics support to draw on the battlefield can be a huge help in making sure your bot is doing and thinking what you expect it to.
  • Visual Studio .NET – You can now create .NET Robocode bots, too.
  • NetBeans – Prefer NetBeans to Eclipse? Here's a detailed guide to getting it setup with Robocode.
  • FloodGrapher – Graphing your bot's movement can offer a lot of insight into where you need to make improvements.
  • Utilities – More tools to make your Robocoding easier and more productive.
