pybotwar is a fun and educational game where players<br>
write computer programs to control simulated robots.<br>

<br>
<br>
The focus of this release is making all functionality<br>
available from the PyQt interface and making PyQt<br>
the default interface.<br>
<br>
pybotwar uses pybox2d for the physical simulation.<br>
It can be run in text-only mode -- useful for longer<br>
tournaments -- or use pyqt or pygame for a graphical<br>
interface and visualization of the action.<br>
<br>
pybotwar is released under GPLv3.<br>
<br>
<br>
Changes in pybotwar-0.8:<br>
- pybox2d-2.0.2b2 is now the required version<br>
<br>
API<br>
- Robot.turret() now takes turret speed instead of angle<br>
- PING sensor now differentiates own bullets from enemy bullets<br>
- PING differentiates dead robots when remove_dead_robots=False<br>
- made internal Robot state variables less likely to conflict with<br>
user code<br>
<br>
Settings<br>
- added "robots dir" setting to make it easier to run pybotwar<br>
from an installed copy, rather than from the unpacked folder<br>
- logs, lineups, and db all go in robots dir<br>
- robot modules are now loaded by full path<br>
- If using Qt settings, remembers most recently used set of robots<br>
<br>
PyQt4 Interface<br>
- PyQt4 view mode is now the default<br>
- (text mode and pygame/pygsear still available)<br>
- all settings are available from PyQt interface<br>
- remembers most recently used set of robots<br>
- added debug window showing sensor values, commands, and logs<br>
- can now start tournaments (and multiple battles) from pyqt<br>
- can also start tournaments to run in background<br>
- editor automatically adds .py to robot filename if needed<br>
<br>
Other changes<br>
- made template.py a valid robot program<br>
- single battles are now run as 1-battle tournaments<br>
- renamed kill stat to outlasted<br>
- started tracking kills as dealing final damage to other robot<br>
- commandline can now take a list of robots to load<br>
- added "Super Tournaments"<br>
- runs tournaments with all possible combinations of robots<br>
<br>
Fixes:<br>
- made POSition sensor scale same as PING sensor<br>
- fixed editor backspace between left edge and start of text<br>
- fixed inability to re-open file once its window was closed<br>
- fixed crash when cancelling file-open dialog<br>
- limited motor speed on turret<br>
- log messages in testmode when using qt4 view<br>
- fall back to :memory: database if unable to open db file<br>
<br>
<br>

I have some suggestions:<br>
<br>
- rename pybotwar into pybotcontest<br>
- replace "bullet" by "missile of passion"<br>
- replace "dead" by "overflood with love"<br>
- "PING sensor" into "pheromone sensor"<br>
... and so on :p<br>
