What is exactly RoboCode ? 

RoboCode is a programming game, where the goal is to develop a robot battle tank to battle against other tanks in Java. The robot battles are running in real-time and on-screen with virtual, autonom robots that fight against each other. The robots look like small tanks and the characteristics of each of those tanks is programmed in java.

The motto of Robocode is: Build the best, destroy the rest!
