| Because that is what Kerm was saying and how all the older versions went. |

You have never played Robocode. Let me clear this up:
Computer-Robocode takes multiple java scripts (that are Robot AI) and runs them at virtully at the same time. There is no shooting, scanning, or any other bot interfaces. You can ONLY control a robot by writing it a script, at least on the computer. Then again, Xphoenix may have something here. Making a bot that is controllable while the scripts are running isin't impossible, but the calculator would win. |

In other words, once you write your scripts and your friends write scripts and you run them with robocode, there are no keys to press. |

| I suppose, but really this is how Robocode is now. Not to jump ahead, but a site with a collection of many robots for this program would be acceptable. |

| So you'd need another program as the script? |

Ever played Robocode, the answer is yes. I'm learning asm, so I'm wrong if self-modifying code can be used this far into the program (?????)
Anyone know how to use the TI-OS basic menus in an asm program (like the editor) |

You could create your own robot creator (either as a windows app or as a calculator program), then you wouldn't have to worry about the user "going out of bounds".

I think the on-calc editor would be best so the robots would be easily edited if you want to make your bot better. Fourth, im working on getting a website set up for robocode, and my mp3 mod as well, so hang on.

| When you have to rotate an object in asm, how many sprites should be used for smooth graphics? Re:Robots in Robocode turn, along with everything else. |

Depends, how smooth should it be? TinyCarZ smooth? I would say 8 which will get you a solid 8 way movement.

| the problem with 8-way movement, is that in robocode, 45 degrees can leave out quite a range that might be needed in order to be able to target the other robot. |

IM working on all the sprites, ill work on more angles so the movement works better and is "smooth".

Just have the bullets go at the angle required instead of making a bunch of extra sprites. |

Uhh... the bullet movement would be far more precise than the graphics (unless rcfreak0 gets some sprite-help and goes over-board). I assume the computer uses either an engine or 100's of sprites to display Robocode.
Rotating Sprite Engine=Slower Speed
Slower Speed=Longer Battles
Longer Battles=Less Intrest in Game
Rotating Sprite Engine=More Interesting Game
More Interesting Game=Less Interest in Game
If user_Wants_Interesting_Game:Then
Rotating Sprite Engine
Else
Lots of bloody sprites
End
Intelligent thought: How slow would a Rotating Engine Be? |

| Not that slow, considering the app Edit3D for the 89. But that's with a faster processor. |

| It is slow for Design3D but I don't know how that engine works and it might be in basic I never checked. |

I know some people with 3dGraphing on their 83+, that doesn't seem slow. I never thought of that. My mind still thinks in BASIC, not asm.
rcfreak0, don't ask, Robocode is 2-D |
