Frankentosh: Building Robots using Mac OS X
 
   
  • Robocode -- Gun
    • Your Gun
      • Your gun fires with a settable power, ranging .1 to 3, which comes out of your tank's power -- no power, can't fire
      • A bullet's power affects speed & damage: powerful bullets are slower, but cause more damage and give you more energy back
    • Your Radar
      • Your radar scans other robots and returns information about them: velocity, heading, energy level (among others)
      • Radar is your eyes and ears; it's extremely important to scan effectively.
