I am trying to install Robocode but it is not opening. I have a Windows 8 OS. I made sure Java's path is right - it is pointed towards the bin. But when I click on the Robocode icon, it doesn't load. What is my next step?
Robocode is able to run under Windows 8. In fact, all version 1.8.x.x versions have been developed under Windows 8 Professional x64 on my PC. ;-)
When nothing happens when you click the Robocode icon, something IS wrong with your Java installation, as starting up Robocode is done directly through Java.
Make sure that you have a JDK 6 or 7 installed (Java Developer Kit), and that you have set up the %JAVA_HOME% environment variable correct, and added a path to %JAVA_HOME%\bin to you %PATH% as well. Then Robocode will for sure run. :-)
