The Robocode Challenge

The goal of this repository is to have a very fast setup for a RoboCode hacking challenge in Intellij.

Steps required to start

1. Check out the repository

2. Make sure, that the Project SDK is configured correctly:

   The code was tested with Java 8.

3. Start "Robocode" from the run configurations.

4. Go to Options > Preferences > Development Options Here please make sure that you selected the right folders. Usually you have to remove both dependencies and then re-add them to the following relative project paths:

   ./dist/robots
   ./out/production/RoboCodeChallenge
   

5. Restart Robocode from IntelliJ

6. You are now ready to get started!
