I put up some new versions of sides on the Grobot Repository. Wise Men is a one line bug fix. Wild Men had some hardware changes and a good deal of code work...
Is anyone still around? I haven't had time to play lately either, but the board has just dropped dead. Matt p.s. Did you see they are having a robowar...
I'm still around, but I've been busy finishing my bachelor's degrees (in computer science and physics), so I haven't touched grobots since last summer. I'm...
I'm still here (not that I was "here" much before ;) I'm intrigued by the Lisp idea, Warren. I really love Lisp for many reasons -- it can be a joy to code...
By Lisp, I meant some language with lots of iritating and silly parentheses, not Common LISP. I'll certainly consider a subset of Scheme. I think once we...
I've been thinking about porting grobots to a cross-platform toolkit. The popular options seem to be GTKmm, FLTK, wxWidgets, FOX, and Qt. For a review, see...
I don't know what your future plans for Grobots are regarding platform support. I am personally still using only MacOS 9 about 99% of the time. So my comments...
... All Grobots needs is menus, windows, and basic graphics. It has little use for 3D or other "game features". Not that 3D Grobots wouldn't be interesting... ...
... Maybe it would be less confusing if we didn't call them compile-time words. The name makes more sense in Forth (where they are user-definable and work just...
... Well, OpenGL can do 2D graphics too and GLUT adds basic menu and window support. Still may not be the best choice though. wxWidgets would seem good to me...
I'm glad to see that you are still making progress. Don't forget to document the new instructions. I tried to steer some people here from Robowar the other...
... Oops. I forgot to upload the updated documentation. The reason I added the new instructions was that I was writing a tutorial, and didn't want to to tell...
Hi I long ago got sick of using that crappy old mac I bought, having to change monitor plugs over etc, then have it go really slow. So I was thrilled to see a...
... Its UI is clumsy, but it works. (I made Shepherds with it.) ... It's on whenever we have over 90% energy, or we have enough energy to finish the baby plus...
Hi! I just discovered the game, and since you've just got a windows version, the timing couldnt be better (i dont have a mac, nor money for it... although im...
A game in Grobots can look eerily organic. (Cool!) My advice for starting to learn is: * Build a simple side, doesn't even have to move or shoot. * Build a...
Could you make it so that grobots could run on OS X without classic? I want to play sooooo bad. :P I tried Saturday, and got it to compile and launch fine, but...
Great idea, I was about to do that... i was just looking some sides.. its easy to learn doing that(checking other sides).. 1 desavantage though is that it will...
I probably cant help much, but since im interested even in the grobots code, i hope to learn at any opportunity... what code did you try to compile? I see that...
I was working with the mac version. It's really very close to being able to run on OS X. I probably could compile the version with no user interface, but...
There is a "print" command that prints out a number (http:// grobots.sourceforge.net/docs/language.html) I'm from South Carolina, USA, and tend to like taking...
ok, but since OS X is based on linux, you could take the linux version, and try to compile.. maybe it will work without modifications... if so, you will only...
hmm i didnt see that command =/ lol... wow, cool pictures!(beautiful lizzard !) I got some too, but never posted them, except for a few at my orkut album... u...
oh, right, i thought it wasnt working much... =] ... then ... version ... then, ... being ... you ... where ... ran ... grobots-unsubscribe@yahoogroups. ... ...
... Thanks! ... The shared variables come in handy for coordinating a bunch of bots. You can have all your fighting bots head toward a shared attack ...
so the shared memory is free huh... cool =D ...about the picture comment, the word 'then' was supposed to be 'when' =/ i hope you understood the joke anyway......
Actually, OS X is not based on Linux at all. The foundations of OS X are based on BSD Unix. (Linux and BSD are two varieties of free Unix-like operating...
... The more subjective parts of the documentation are out of date, but the language and hardware interface references are accurate. The debugger is awkward...
