Does C-RObots have graphics? As I recall the graphics and development/test
environment of RobotWar was far far better than C-Robots.

But above and beyond that, the source has these funny little IFDEF AMIGA's spread throughout it. Someone with more time than I might want to find the source and take a look at it. >-Roger -- Jason L.

Yes, the last two versions of C-Robots have had real color graphics, although the debug mode is still lacking the "slow run" mode of RobotWar. Perhaps you liked the integrated environment of RobotWar, but many people (myself included) did not, and would rather have used our own editors (I modified my copy of RobotWar to use an external text editor, and wrote up a program that could convert "normal" ASCII file robots into the RobotWar format and back again, just to get around using it). I actually find that using the C-Robots debugger is MORE usefull than what was available in RobotWar, but the "test bench" is not quite as good. Dave (Oh, this comes up quite a bit. Almost at the time the Amiga 1000 came out there was a text-only port of C-Robots done by someone with an Asian sounding name. My version of C-Robots was not based on his, but rather was a completely new port of the MS-DOS/Unix version of C-Robots, to which I added many new features, improved the compiler, added graphics, etc. My version has very little in common with his (or the MS-DOS/Unix) version of C-Robots except that it is backwards compatible with robots written for them. (Although you can't take "compiled" robots from my version and use them in the other version, you can take the "source" to the robots and use them with the MS-DOS/Unix versions, as long as you don't make use of the improved features of my compiler).
