May 3rd 2008

APOCALYX Screenshot This month the tournament haven't shown much movement. Only the veterans succeeded in collecting enough matches, while the cadets' ones are too few to consider the results reliable. Thus the cadets need to wait another month before deserving a promotion.
The Tinker vs Grappelli fight has given again the same winner: Tinker. Now it confirmed its valor and survived for the second time among the veterans with an interesting 5th place in team category.
The survivors among the veterans are: Tango (3-1-3), Spike (1-6-2), StrangeMatter (2-3-1), IonStorm (4-4-4), Starkle (5-2-7), Headhunter, HellFire, TTL (6-5-6), Tinker (11-11-5), DOOM (7-8-8), Mouth (10-10-9), Bohan, GulleFjun.
The demoted veterans are: DarkSoldier, AronsRobot02, Berserk, Jimbo, 845bytes, MarukoV4, Singularity, Errata, Grappelli, Hal9000, Bosozoku, Janeway, Teddybear.
The May Challenge will see a Cadets' League very crowded, while the Veterans' 13 will fight for supremacy.

Now you can upload your jrobots to win the May 2008 JROBOTS Challenge (May 3rd-31st 2008) aka Veterans' 13!

INFO BATTLE ARENA

JROBOTS (jay-robots) is a clone of an old game called CROBOTS. Some bots fight in an arena, firing missiles and avoiding enemies' projectiles. At the end only one will survive! This game is involving, but it is not interactive: you must develop the AI algorithms of your own bot using the Java language, then you upload it in the arena and follow online its fights against other bots.

Does this game really work?
It's simpler to see than believe, so visit the page of the VETERANS' BATTLE ARENA.

How can you play?
It's simpler to do than explain, so Download the JROBOTS SDK or Read the On-Line Documentation.

You'll definitely love this game! Why?
