Siiigh.... It seems that i have discovered AT-Robots too late. Maybe to raise more interest an update is needed? It is open source and pascal is a relatively easy language, any one interested in collabing to make an AT-Pro? Maybe a range of different weapons that one can use or arena's with obsticles? This will revitalize the scene and give it a little extra OOMPH. Just wishful thinking.

Its a chicken and egg problem for me. If I knew there would be enough interest, I would make a contribution. Thats the main reason I started this forum, was to see how much interest there would be.

So, do I spend my scarce free time trying to revitalize AT-Robots by creating new features, or do I spend my time elsewhere until AT-Robots is revitalized? I have an almost working C++ port of the code, but its been sitting around collecting dust for years. I'd probably re-write it if I decided to work on it anyway. Possibly in Java.

If I can get enough people to express interest, I'll write an open-source java port, which would eventually add many features (including a cooler form of online arena)

Although, it might be better to create a new program similar in idea to AT-Robots, but with a different design. Any idea's would be helpful.

Well, if lack of ideas is the only problem, feel free to be inspired by my version of AT-Robots, ATR3, still available from here:

hi !
I played and develloped some robots with my collegues some years ago, using the ATR3 of Mio. It was great fun !
Anyway, does this forum discuss about ATR2, ATR3 or other ATR ?
I know only ATR3...

Hey,
I suppose you're one of the Christophe Arnal Team?

How are all you people? Damn, that was so long ago...
Anyway, I think we're free to discuss any version, but I suppose we should wait for a reply from Daniel here...
Cheers

ATR3 is not officially related to Bones' ATR2. It was just a freetime project of mine - I had no girlfriend back then and needed to kill my free time somehow...

Yeah, I feel you. I have a fiance now, and there is no way I have free time for porting AT-Robots.

Okay, I lied. Actually, I didn't lie, I was busy.

I still have a fiance, but I'm finding time to work on a port. But no one is around any more :-(

. Well, I won't let that stop me.

Hey I used to love playing around with at-robots not really that long ago either, only 2-3 years ago maybe, but when I got here, the site was dead, and the interest all gone. I've thought of remaking at-robots countless times, though I don't think I'd use Java it almost seems like sacrilege to write a game about fast, well optimized mini programs, in a language that while easy to use, and cross platform, is probably only well optimized (this isn't a flame against Java, Java fits its purpose well).

Thats just me though, I really like lower level stuff.
