Delphi Robot Rage

[Requirements] [Prizes] [Download] [The Bots]

The last session of CodeRage ][ (now FREE!) is the Delphi Robot Rage. This is your opportunity to show off your amazing Delphi programming skills. Download D-Robots and build your robot to compete in a Death Match on the Light Plaza map against one or more robots created by other participants. There will be amazing prizes (undisclosed as of yet), but of course the best prize will be having your amazing programming skills shown off to the world.

FYI, I am not the author of D-Robots. It was written by Marcus Oblak and published on PlasmaCode.com. It uses Delphi Web Script, and GLScene.

Partial list of prizes

Requirements:

  1. Robot must have unsecured source (no password, or password must be provided), although the source will not be revealed until after the challenge is completed.
  2. If a unique skin is not used for your robot, then a new skin may be assigned to your robot for visual identification.
  3. Competition is open to everyone. No purchase necessary. Not required to be in attendance at CodeRage II to enter or win, although that is the best way to see the action!
  4. Robot will compete in a Death Match with 1 or more other bots on the map Light Plaza.
  5. Email your robot to me (delphirobotrage@davinciunltd.com), and I will reply with acknowledgment. If I don’t reply, I didn’t receive it.

TIP: A call to a BOT_ routine from a sub-procedure will lock. It is a bug.
Deadline for submissions: Thursday, November 29th, 2007 - 10 AM Pacific Time [Extended!]

Notice: There is an incompatibility between D-Robots and some video drivers (maybe just ATI or just me). No known work around. It does work in a virtual machine, but your frame rate will be very poor.
