Welcome: share your first impressions

Thanks for taking a look at The Book of Robocode.

This book gathers two decades of community knowledge — physics, movement, targeting, and strategy — and structures it for both classic Robocode and Robocode Tank Royale. It stays accurate only when readers push back, so blunt feedback is the most useful kind.

A few ways to help:

• First impressions, questions, disagreements belong here in Discussions. What landed, what felt thin or obvious, where you got lost, and which strategy claims you would argue with.
• Concrete errors (a wrong claim, a broken example, a physics value that does not match the engine, a typo worth fixing properly) are best as an Issue. There are short forms for corrections and suggestions.
• Tiny fixes can go straight to a pull request. Every page has a "Suggest a change to this page" link in its footer.

Veteran roboteers especially: if a page contradicts hard-won experience from the bots and battles you remember, say so — that is exactly the knowledge this book exists to preserve.

No need to be polite. If a page did not earn its place, say so.
