51180 2002-05-28 00:34:00 Just thought i'd let people know about this site here:

robocode.alphaworks.ibm.com


Its a pretty decent way to learn how to code in java.

The idea is to code up a robot that goes around an (onscreen) arena and tries to detect and destroy other robots.

I had a crack at it the other day, and although i'm sort of familiar with the java language, i thought it was pretty choice. The simple bot i coded was good enough to waste an advanced bot i downloaded from the above website!


I've always thought its easier to learn how to code if you have some sort of project to work towards, and this is a pretty fun project.


If you're reading this robo, I reckon it might make a good addition to the pc-world cd?

I'd like to hear what other people reckon of this way to learn java.

Cheers,

markOS X.
