Bug#126317: ITP: robotournament -- Game where players program their robots against each other
Are you going to package this? No. I did not try to resolve the copyright problems (i don't know if game concepts can be copyrighted in the US; the name is similar, too) Furthermore the code upstream (i've been contributing to the AI) has some major drawbacks in gameplay IMHO. (like an undefined ordering of the conveyors) Development is stalled and a few ugly bugs persist. It sure is playable and fun though. Actually i have packages ready, but packaging was trivial (after all it's a tcl script...) so i won't save you much work. So if you like playing the game, go ahead an package it.

On Tue, Apr 09, 2002 at 02:24:04AM +0200, Erich Schubert [EMAIL PROTECTED] was heard to say: What makes this more problematic than Freeciv, Pingus, frozen-bubble, ***tris, lbreakout, etc? Actually it shouldn't be more problematic. Especially since all the former are computer games whereas RoboWhatever is a board game, and much of it's charm comes from that ;) Actually, I think it's more common to patent board games. The official Robo Rally homepage is http://www.wizards.com/roborally/welcome.asp, for reference. The makers are Wizards of the Coast (also the MTG and DND people, I think) I retitled the bug to RFP on your suggestion, although i no longer request it to be packaged actually. Installing is as easy as tar xzf, and the game has a few bugs (disappearing / unuseable flags in ctf, sometimes irritating, non-predicteable behaviour of the conveyors etc.) Hm, maybe I should do a rewrite in a sane language. [0] The graphics are nice, and having them available would probably make writing the actual game a lot easier. /me suppresses the urge to try out the Scheme SDL bindings he wrote last weekend and goes back to his work..

you have never player roborally, have you? Just because there are some really stupid tv shows (are there some that are not???) doesn't mean this is a game of fun and tactics. It's a great board game i've enjoed much! that's pathetic! your reply is. Don't judge things by the title, that's exactly what you are complaining about with other people. Other people judge your work by a tv show, you judge the game by the tv show, too... Sorry, you are no better than they are. The game is great, no matter if you like the title. Greetings, Erich
