#126 Non-random starting locations.

[Anonymous]

We should have an option where we can set the starting locations, that way we can test robot behavior specific to robot location. Such things such as being jammed in a corner, or starting right on top of the enemy would be easier with this. This works the other way as well, if we wish to develop a bullet shield for instance, we would place the robots far apart to study how things happen.

This non-random starting location I think should be made available to the rumble as well in some way.

Implementation ideas: Could either have a list of starting locations and rotations (1. 36,36,0 2. 764, 564,PI), or alternatively a map where you can place and adjust the starting locations (Such as a battlefield map with boxes, designating the starting locations).

This can get more complex if you support different starting locations for each round, but such a thing could easily be used for more all around challenges (such as a targeting or movement challenge).

It is already possible with battle file. See battles/ folder in Robocode installation.
