Well, how do you people feel about these two commands:
Rotate[speed] (speed = -100 to 100)
RotateWeapon[weapon, speed] (speed = -100 to 100)
Do we want to rotate our bots and weapons using a speed factor?
or
Do we want to rotate them using an ANGLE, and then the engine only rotates the bot or weapon depending on the max speed possible?
This is more of an issue with the weapon, I think, because you will mostly want to AIM it at something, which will require stopping it at a certain angle (not just telling it to rotate, and it goes round and round and round...).
Perhaps we should add one more command to the set:
GetWeaponAngle[weapon]
which would return the current weapon angle (since it might not have yet reached the angle that was specified earlier due to speed restrictions).
By the way, give me some ideas on how to limit the Max Turn Speed. (Check out the Bot Specs page.)
