Robocode Tutorial: Cholwich Nattee

RoboCode is a programming game where the goal is to create a robot to compete in battles against other robots. A robot in RoboCode is represented by a 36x36 pixel body that can move, shoot bullets from its gun, and detect other robots with its radar. The document outlines the game physics including movement, rotation, bullets, collisions and damage. It also provides an overview of how to create a basic robot in Java that extends the Robot class and includes methods like run(), turnGunRight(), and fire(). AdvancedRobot subclasses provide more control methods for robot behavior in battle.

What is RoboCode?
RoboCode is a programming game. Goal: to create a robot to compete in a battle eld.

A Robot
A Robot (3636 pixels) = Body + Gun + Radar Body for moving itself Gun for ring energy bullets Radar for detecting other robots

Game Physics: Battle Field


Cartesian coordinate system: (0,0) at the bottom left Clockwise direction: 0 degree towards North

(0,h)

0 deg

(w,h)

270 deg

90 deg

(0,0)

180 deg

Creating Your First Robot


A Robot = A Java Class extending Robot Robot

MyRobot

Creating Your First Robot


import robocode.*; public class MyRobot extends Robot { public void run() { while(true) { ahead(100); turnGunRight(360); } } public void onScannedRobot(ScannedRobotEvent e) { fire(1); } }

Game Physics: Time/Dist.


Time: 1 turn = 1 tick, 1 tick depends on TPS Acceleration: 1 pixel/turn for accelerating, 2 pixel/turn for decelerating Velocity: velocity = accelerationtime Distance: distance = velocitytime; measured in pixels

Robot Movement
ahead(double distance) move forward for a specied distance back(double distance) move backward for a specied distance

Rotation
Body Rotation turnLeft(double deg) / turnRight(double deg) Gun Rotation turnGunLeft(double deg) / turnGunRight(double deg) Radar Rotation turnRadarLeft(double deg) / turnRadarRight(double deg)

Game Physics: Rotation


Body rotation: 10 - 0.75abs(velocity) deg/turn Gun rotation: 20 + body_rotation deg/turn Radar rotation: 45 + gun_rotation deg/turn

Bullet
re(double power) re a bullet with a specied power reBullet(double power) re a bullet with a specied power return an object of class Bullet

Game Physics: Bullets


Damage: 4repower+[2(repower-1) if repower>1] Velocity: 20-3repower GunHeat: 1+repower/5 The gun does not work if GunHeat > 0 GunHeat is decreased by GunCoolingRate per turn Power returned on hit: 3repower

Game Physics: Collisions


With Another Robot: Each robot takes 0.6 damage With Wall 0 for Robot max(abs(velocity)*0.5-1,0) for AdvancedRobot
