bot
This is an Arcade Game
Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did
run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was
also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh
running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a
Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen
and System 7.1 by Mactivity.
As a bot programmer, it is your task to design and build
winning bots, robotic gladiators that are placed in
an Arena for a battle to the death. Using a careful
combination of offensive and defensive hardware and
software, you must build a bot that can survive the
ordeals of combat in the Arena. Thus, your objective
in designing a bot is to make sure that the bot can
seek out other bots in the Arena and destroy them before
it is itself destroyed. Of course, the other bots
in the arena will be trying to destroy your bot, so
you must be clever and strategic while building and
programming. 'bot comes in two pieces: the 'bot Developer
module, where you design and equip your bots, and the
'bot Arena module, where you pit your bots against
others. Both of these applications are completely
MultiFinder compatible. For example, you can load
bots into the Arena by double-clicking on them in the
Finder, even when Arena application is already open.
You can also run Arena battles or tournaments in the
background under MultiFinder - when the combat is over,
a small robot icon will flash over the apple icon on
the left of the menu bar to let you know that the combat
has ended. 'bot is also System 7.0 compatible. If
you are running 'bot Arena under MultiFinder or System
7.0, and you want to run a combat with a number of
very large bots, you may get an "out of memory"
error. If this happens, you should increase the size
of the application's partition (the box in the lower
right corner of the Get Info window) to 512K. Under
normal operation, or under System 6 Finder, there should
be no need for this change.
