I just uploaded a new side called "Walled City" to the Repository. Its most noteworthy feature is it is a colony that moves intelligently. I'm looking for a ...
I was running a tournament at home too. 20 sides kind of randomly picked from the "Good Sides". It also included a few new or poorer old sides. It had...

... Revenge's trick is it has a big weapon and it shoots at point-blank so it can't miss. The combination means it delivers damage at about 2 per frame....
I just looked at the source and it appears that the IDs go from 1 to the number of sides currently loaded/in the tournament. I guess it would be easier to do...

For anyone using shared code, I've got one note for you. Execution will begin in the shared code unless you do one of two things: 1) Use the start tag inside...
With shared code everything defined there is present in all types: code, variables, constants? But things that you define separately for each type are all...
... I see two ways to solve that problem: 1) Remove the feature giving an implicit #start at beginning of code, so every type (or the shared code section) must...
The crash with the statistic window seems to have gone away. I still get crashes when I leave a tournament running a long time. I started one yesterday early...

I'm currently acting like a user instead of a maintainer, so here are two feature requests. (I should get around to debugging the MacOS X build in the next 3...
Devon: Thanks for adding the implicit Start. I've always thought it odd to start anywhere but from the top of the code. But that might just be me. Warren:...
May 1st would probably be fine. I have not actually made any progress recently. I am particularly busy with my job and other projects right now and the free...
Quick update. I've uploaded a new Grobots syntax file with the most recent changes, and it now includes an undocumented constant!! pi/2. And the peasants...
Sorry, guys. Kinda busy. Let the emails accumulate again, but its going to clear soon.
