Original author(s) Glenn Sogge & Del Ogren Developer(s) The Image Producers Initial release 1981 Written in 6809 assembly Platform TRS-80 Color Computer Size 4K Type Programming game License Proprietary Color Robot Battle is an early programming game for the TRS-80 Color Computer, released in 1981 by The Image Producers.[1]
Robot Programming
The aim of the game is to write a computer program that controls a (simulated) robot. Two programs are selected to do battle in an arena with the last robot standing being the winner.[2] One of the examples from the manual follows:
*OMEGA ROB> =R:XM WAL> =W:T-2 START> CROB:CWAL:F8:=?:T1 GSTART
The robot controlled by this program follows the wall of the arena making an occasional random turn to break the movement pattern. The program scans for an opponent and attacks if one is found.
