Running Robocode

You need Java 11 as a minimum or newer to be preinstalled on your system. I recommend newer versions of Java, e.g. version 18.
You can read the installation guide to get more details about installing Java and Robocode.

The Robocode GUI application must be run from the command line in order to start and view battles:

java -jar robocode-tankroyale-gui-0.14.3.jar

robocode-tankroyale-gui-0.14.3.jar

Note that you need to download sample bots and install those into directories on your system, and add these directories from the menu:

Config → Bot Root Directories

Sample bots

These sample bots are currently available:

C#: sample-bots-csharp-0.14.3.zip
Java: sample-bots-java-0.14.3.zip

Note that the C# bots need Microsoft .Net SDK 5.0 or newer and must be preinstalled.

Bot API

In order to develop bots for Robocode, you'll need one of the provided APIs for the Java/JVM or .Net platform.
