Hi,
is there a robotwar game on Amstrad CPC like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RobotWar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RobotWar) or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Battle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Battle) ?
Idea: make robots out of the computers themselves, the 464 would tower over the competition!
And eventually bring defeat to all commodore machines... 8)
I remember experimenting with these things back in the days ... there were various of the programs as type-ins in some german magazines .... all were based on https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War) ...

That's somehow similar but not the same. With Core War you create assembler-like code that is executed in a virtual machine. if your code kills the other code, you win. In Robot Wars - if I understand correctly - you basically write the AI for a sprite on the screen.
There are many variants of this ... I also remember a listing where you have to write a little basic program and the winner is the one that is still executing code etc. ... I would also like to see those again :)
