Hi guys I've been interested in Grobots for a while, but I have a PC, So I havn't been able to download and use. After I read that Tilendor is porting it to PC...
Hey all, progress on my port is coming slowly, due to my new job and the disorganization that entails. But now that things have settled down, I promise to get...
Teaching programming *is* a potential use for Grobots. However, it isn't ready yet. First, we need to finish the debugger, and hopefully replace the language...

... We keep thinking of that and rejecting it because it doesn't seem very armorlike. OK, now I've implemented it. I still don't like it. It makes repairing...
... You've been right more than me. If you know like it don't do it. I'm just throwing out ideas. ... I agree with this. The problem is figuring out how. ...
I've been thinking about the size balance problem. It seems that so far efforts have been concentrating on penalizing large cells. In my view, it might be...
... For the simulation, we used math coordinates, so positive y is upwards, positive x rightwards, and angles measured counter-clockwise from the positive...
... Same on the Mac, and on every graphics system I know of. Coordinate systems for angles, however, vary widely, so we'll have to fix GBGraphics::DrawArc to...
Alright, here it is. This is untested because it only patches a couple portions of the code. I am confident that it works however, being rather familiar with...

So far the views I've looked at have all been changed to use the graphics portability layer, cutting down on my work tremendously. The one that isn't fully...

At really small sizes you run into quantization problems, as in both of those examples. Really tiny cells still take an entire blast to kill, and an entire...
