I agree with Amon, too.
This site does just fine...
Adding a Tutorials/Articles section like the Code Archives would make it perfect, in fact.
I have an idea: A module for BlitzMax that makes it easy to create robots for the game RealTimeBattle, which is much like that bot battle game community project here except that it was finished :P
The great thing about it is that it's written so that any programming language can be used to develop robots for as long as it can compile to the necessary plaform. (Unfortunately, Windows is currently unsupported except through Cygwin).
There are a few ways for these robots to operate, explained here.
I am trying very very slowly to get the Standard In Blocks method working and it probably will once I stop being lazy. (It's definietly possible via native BlitzMax).
I'm not sure about the two more complicated sounding ways, but someone else may know how they are done...
The important part is developing a module which uses these functions so that people can create their robots with simple functions, such as StartRobot(), Rotate() and Shoot() and is hopefully tidy enough to easily work with any of the three input methods.
