I would wish to see a clear text interface, similar to the old RealBattleBot, either using STDIN and STDOUT, as RealBattleBot uses, or through network sockets.

This would make it possible to create bots in any language. All real languages are able to handle text input and output.

I think this could be done as a "special bot" made in Java or in any of the currently supported languages, that does nothing else than to provide a bridge to the text interface.

    I am working on a new version of Robocode based on websockets.

    I am curious of how the progress has been on this?

    The progress is good and it is still under development.
    I am working heavily on documentation, setup and distribution files. And also getting rid of annoying bugs that would hurt the user experience.
    So I am getting very close to release a Beta of the new Robocode. :)

    I am preparing a clean Java 8+ and .Net 5 API as well to begin with.
