Anyone recollect RoboCode?

OZApps

This was a very popular modular code written in Java (by IBM) that was used to create your own bots and have them pit against each other and see which one won. It has I believe been ported to .net

This is the perfect example for Lua, anyone wanting to port it and maybe even put it up on the app store?

There's a guy on the Codea forums who's making a game called "Battle Chips" that looks very similar to this.

coz with gideros you can compile strings and save/load compiled code, so on the fly compilation should not be an issue (only thing is apple might have an issue with that)

@techdojo, thanks Will look at that Battle Chips,

Yup. I knew Robocode for like ten years I think

3 years ago when I was working in my previous company, I organized an internal contest, people needed to write their AI code in a Battle Ship game, but the technical idea was using client-server architecture, not interpreting source code
