0.26.1

📦 0.26.1 - Various bug fixes

🚀 Improvements

• Server:
  • When no bullets or functioning bots remain, the round ends immediately as a draw to speed things up.
• Bot API and schema:
  • The enemyCount field was moved from TickEvent for the bot (tick-event-for-bot) into BotState. This change
    provides an observer with the enemy count for each bot, which is useful for the UI to display the current enemy
    count for a specific bot. This also benefits the properties in the Bot Console.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Bot API:
  • Old events was not removed, causing Maximum event queue size has been reached.
• GUI:
  • The Properties of the Bot Console did not show the correct enemy count for a bot.
• Server:
  • The enemy count in TickEvent was not calculated correctly for individual bots as well as for team bots.

▶ Running Robocode

You need Java 11 as a minimum or newer, e.g. the newest version of Java available.

You can read the installation guide to get more details about installing both Java and Robocode.

The main application is the GUI Application which is a Java application.
You can read more about how to use the GUI Application here.

The Robocode GUI application is run from the command line (shell or command prompt) in order to start and view
battles:

java -jar robocode-tankroyale-gui-0.26.1.jar

If you are new to Robocode, you need to download some bots and extract those to directories on your system.
These bot directories can be added from the menu of the GUI: Config → Bot Root Directories

🤖 Sample bots

These sample bots are currently available:

Platform	Archive	Requirements
C#	sample-bots-csharp-0.26.1.zip	Microsoft .Net SDK 6.0 or newer
Java	sample-bots-java-0.26.1.zip	Any Java SDK 11 or newer

All bots are put in zip archives, which should be installed in independent directories.
Each zip archive contains a ReadMe.md file with more information for the specific platform.

📦 Bot API

In order to start developing bots for Robocode, the following APIs are available.

📦 Java:

Available as:

• Jar file: robocode-tankroyale-bot-api-0.26.1.jar

0.26.0

📦 0.26.0 - Support for remote servers

🚀 Improvements

    using a local or remote server. In addition, it is possible to add, edit, and remove remote servers, and it is
    possible to specify a controller and a bot secret to allow the GUI and bots to access the remote server.
  • If a booted bot process exits, it is now removed from the active New Battle window.
• Booter:
  • When a pid of a bot process cannot be found, the Booter writes out a load {pid} to indicate that a process could
    not be found with the provided pid.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Server:
  • #108: The ranks were wrong as they did not reflect the total score and placements
• Bot API:
  • An interruptible event was not interrupted when setInterruptible(true) was called. The event queue contained
    more bot events than it should, due to this bug.
  • The event queue and dispatcher was improved so it is closer to the implementation for the original Robocode.
