    Hi guys,

    I was wondering..is it possible to compete with an .NET bot in the roborumble?

    If so, how would i package the bot..?

    Regards

    Currently, this is not possible. Both the server part and client part needs to
    be designed for it.

    Robocode has the client build-in, but does not maintain the server part.

    You can see and join the discussion
    here at RoboWiki for
    RoboRumble regarding .NET support.

    Thank you very much for the response, i wasnt aware of an Talk page about this
    subject.

    Too bad it isnt availible yet, who knows in the future. :)

    Currently, the .NET part is still under development and needs some
    improvements, even though it can be used for development robots as it is now.

    I agree that it should be possible to compete with .NET robots beside Java
    robots (platforms) and using many different programming languages based on
    these two platforms. :-)

    Oh well, not that hard for a C# developer to port it to java, but would have
    done it right away if i knew it before i started haha.

    Could have saved me some time.

    I am sorry this has caused to some time.

    Instead of porting the RoboRumble for .NET, I have something better in mind. I
    want to extend the existing RoboRumble so it is possible to compete with
    robots written for both the Java and .NET platform. Later on, more languages
    will be supported (hopefully), and hence it would be cool to have a single
    client/server architecture supporting it all. But this is not done easily and
    quickly, and needs lots of considerations and designing. :-)
