Hello Everyone. I'm posting to announce my latest creation, LogicWarz, which I think might interest members of this forum interested in AI programming. LogicWarz is a free computer game\application that allows you to program your own automated Bot, test it, fine tune it, and finally pit it against another Bot that was created by another person just like you in the LogicWarz Arena, it is a complete suite comprised of an integrated development environment (LogicWarz Workshop), an arena editor (LogicWarz Designer), and finally a battle engine (LogicWarz Arena) You can also fully customize the look of your Bot with your own artwork and animation Download: Windows Installer ZIP Website Thank you very much for giving LogicWarz a try, and I hope to see some of you join in and bring others [Edited by - Roy lazarovich on June 24, 2008 5:30:28 PM]

A couple of comments:

The arena is so dark, I can hardly tell the difference between open and blocked squares.

It would be nice to have a more intelligent sample AI. Both bots got stuck against a wall in the sample.

Thanks for the reply.

I intend to create more tile themes in the future that will also include themes created by the community, and I'll make sure to make them brighter and with more contrast.

As for the sample AI, you are right, it is pretty dumb, I didn't want to include too much in the sample AI so as to let players find their own solutions instead of relying on the sample AI, but the plan is to release a special edition that will include the winners of 10 competitions for the player to test their Bots on, there will probably be a smarter Bot available to the players even earlier as a standalone .bot file.

Sounds cool, mind me asking what it was made in?

Your website needs some screenshots of the game, might get more people to DL it.

Sweet. I've had an idea for this sort of thing for a while.

Kind of a RobotOdyssey type thing, isn't it? Have to check it out. I love this sort of game.
