I recently found out about a fun little game called Robocode. Now this is not a game for the non-programmer because you are coding a bot program with in the Robocode framework.
This takes me back to my college days when my university had a game called “battle bots.” Basically, you code a bot (a program) that runs in the main program along side other bots and they fight each other till one last bot is standing. The really cool thing was that there was no human intervention. So we would go into the computer labs and set up a big screen watching our creations battle it out.
Robocode is not as elaborate as the battle bots but it does give me an excuse to play with some AI techniques without having to write a whole custom environment. Maybe I can use Joone to develop a NN Robocode Bot.
