Bug fixes

Change

• Req-160: Fixed width font in console. Some systems did not used monospaced font in console windows.

Naval Robocode 0.9.2 has been released

This is a new version of Naval Robocode, which is now based on classic Robocode version 1.9.2.4, which fixes bugs found since version 1.9.2.1, e.g. bugs in the Robot Editor. With this new version mines now have a blast radius, and a Ship source code template has been added to the Robot Editor too.

Naval Robocode is based on Robocode v1.9.2.1 in its own branch (naval-robocode-workspace2 on GitHib for Robocode).

Notice that Naval Robocode is now started using an independent naval-robocode.bat/.sh/.command startup script instead of robocode.bat/.sh/.command, which will start up classic Robocode.

So if you want to have some new fun with Robocode then make sure you visit the page for Naval Robocode on the RoboWiki: http://robowiki.net/wiki/Naval_Robocode.

We hope you will enjoy Naval Robocode! Enjoy Robocoding!

Naval Robocode - play Robocode with ships instead of tanks

Naval Robocode (#navalrobocode) is under development, which is a naval variant of Robocode, where the tanks have been replaced by ships with 2 cannons.

This Robocode variant has been developed by Thomas Hakkers and Jan-Egbert Hamming from Thales Netherland involved primarily with naval defence systems (sensors, radars and infrared systems).

Naval Robocode is based on Robocode v1.9.2.1 in its own branch (naval-robocode-workspace on GitHib for Robocode).

So if you want to have some new fun with Robocode then make sure you visit the page for Naval Robocode on the RoboWiki: http://robowiki.net/wiki/Naval_Robocode.
