Webots 3 for Windows
Requirements
Webots for Windows runs on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows
NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Programming
If you want to program your own robot controllers, then you will need a
C/C++ environment. We recommand using either (1) Dev-C++, from
www.bloodshed.net
, (2) cygwin (with the gcc, make, mingw-runtime, binutils, gdb and more packages
if you like) from www.cygwin.com
along with a programming text editor, like xemacs
www.xemacs.org
, or (3) Microsoft Visual C++. The makefiles provided with the Webots controllers
are directly usable with cygwin, templates for Dev-C++ and Microsoft Visual
C++ projects are given in the braiten and tcpip controller directories.
Starting Webots
Launch Webots from the Webots 3.x.x icon on the Desktop. Run the simulation
by clicking on the play button (>). Play with the menus, the 3D navigation
system, the scene editor, etc.
Programming your own robot controller
Go to the C:\Program Files\Webots 3.x.x\controllers\simple directory
and edit the simple.c file. You will see in this simple example
how to program a mobile robot in webots. You can modify this file and recompile
it. Then, relauch Webots to see the result of your modification on the behavior
of the robot.
