CSCI 201 Fall 2002: Assignment 4
In this assignment, we are going to try something new. Your
assignment is to connect to the following URL: Cyber Village
Academy, and complete all five lessons of the Robocode
tutorial located on the bottom of that page. During the course of
that tutorial, you will create a Robocode robot implemented as
a java program. You must transfer the code for your robot to your
class ftp directory to receive credit for this assignment. Here
are the details of what you must transfer.
- Your robot program must be named MyRobot.java.
- At the top of the file you must include comments stating your name
and declaring that the enclosed program (the program that you
are submitting) is your own work.
- The program must contain code that is not included in the starting
template provided by Robocode. You must supplement and/or modify the
code provided in that starting template. Suggestions for doing this
are given in the above referenced tutorial. Your grade for this
assignment will be affected by the quality of the code modifications
that you make.
- Provide comments in your program indicating the original code that
you have contributed to your robot (i.e., the code described in the
item above). Your comments should explain why you expect this code to
improve robot performance.
This assignment is intended to be fun (as well as educational). I
encourage you to try robot competitions as a way of getting more (fun)
out of this assignment.
The necessary Robocode software has already been installed on the
computers in the labs on campus, but, as you will see, it is very easy
to install on your home computer.
Enjoy!
