BOTwaR1.3 - App Store

Welcome to BOTwaR, a game where you must decide your strategy before the battle. Unlike most games where you control the action on the screen directly, in BOTwaR, you write a battle program and then stand back and watch as your program competes against other programs. The last robot standing is the winner.

In BOTwaR, you control a robot by programming it in JavaScript. Here's a complete example of a battle program (called BOTTOM) that you can challenge:

function main(robot) {

if (robot.isFirstIteration()) robot.moveTo(0,100);

if (robot.atDestination()) {

if (robot.getX() == 0) robot.moveTo(100,100);

if (robot.getX() == 100) robot.moveTo(0,100);

}

var d = robot.ping(-90);

if (d > 0.0) robot.fire(-90);

}

Battle several BOTs in one arena. Comes pre-loaded with several battle programs to compete against and examine (code is included). Code can be edited and debugged inside the game.

Note: This game does not teach you the JavaScript programming language, but it does include examples to get your started. There are lots of JavaScript tutorials on the web.

Requires iOS 4.3 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
