    Most of us here in Spin are currently addicted to this game - http://robocode.alphaworks.ibm.com/home/home.html - if you get hooked like us, blame Evil Phil :)

    Its probably a good way to learn Java.

    Nah, Walls beats the crap out of everyone of them. :D

    I haven't really had time to play around with it much but from what i've seen it's really good. Give me a day or so and i'll knock up a robot of my own.

    I'm also thinking of passing the link onto some of the lecturers in college, as this would be a fun and interesting way to learn java.

    Cheers for the link Regi. :D

    I don't think my "Hello World" Java skills will be sufficient ;)

    Looks like this is going to replace my lunchtime game of 3D Pong, for the next few days anyway :)
