Robocode is a fun programming game that teaches Java by letting you create Java "Robots," real Java objects that battle it out onscreen against other robots. While playing Robocode, you will learn how to write Java code, how to handle events, how to create inner classes, and more. There is a surge of community activity taking place around Robocode. Websites and webrings are forming as well as mailinglist, newsgroups, code exchanges, and tournaments. Robocode is growing so fast that the creator is seriously thinking about taking Robocode Open Source, so he can get needed help with code enhancement request.

It should be noted that there is no Mac installer for Robocode. Instead, you must download the source code and compile it yourself. The site mentioned above tells you how to do this. If you're running 9, you'll need a program that can do it for you (I'm pretty sure you can do it in Codewarrior). If you have 10, you can easily compile it in a terminal window. Beware, though, Java in 10.0.4 is extremely slow and has given many people many problems. Hopefully Java will work much better in 10.1 when we finally get it in a week or two.
