What is Robocode?
Robocode is a programming game that challenges players to code a battle-ready robot tank to compete in a virtual arena against other robot tanks. The objective is to design an AI-driven tank that can outsmart and outmaneuver its opponents in real-time battles. Beyond its competitive nature, Robocode serves as an educational tool, primarily for learning the Java programming language, but also for studying artificial intelligence concepts. The game provides a complete development environment, including a built-in robot editor, Java compiler, and installer, allowing users to get started with minimal setup. Robocode's cross-platform compatibility, thanks to its Java-based architecture, enables it to run on a variety of operating systems, from Windows and Linux to macOS and UNIX variants, as long as a compatible Java Virtual Machine is installed
