- PCROBOTS V1.41 By P.D.Smith (psmithb@CIX) 1992
-
- Synopsis: Using your favorite language, write a program for a robot that
- will battle other robots while you watch.
-
- PCROBOTS is an adaptation of CROBOTS by Tom Poindexter. This version has
- more features, and allows for much more intelligent robots. It is not
- limited to any particular language; C, Pascal, Compiled Basic, 8086 ASM,
- etc., are all possible. The only limitation is that it must be run on
- an IBM PC Compatible with an EGA or VGA monitor.
-
- PCRobots uses 'robots' which are actually MSDOS .COM or .EXE programs.
- Each program is allocated 64k for data, program & stack requirements.
-
- PCRobots allows a large user defined arena, with obstacles in it, it also
- allows inter-robot communication to allow teamwork between robots. PCROBOTS
- uses a cooperative multitasker to share the processor between the robots,
- the way this works means that robots can do lots of calculations and
- planning without being penalised.
