     When I was young, Pirch98 is one of the most popular chat programs through IRC system. For me, it was not just a chat program - it was where I started to systematically write my first large piece of Pascal script. It was so because the youths like us made use of IRC’s feathers to make wars! Yes wars, if you can remember, operators (people with @ preceding their name) could kick you out of the room. Among operaters, one could also kick out another; therefore, he or she needed protection (or sometimes revenge) by an automatic script which was commonly available those days.

     How nice if you could write you own script to fight with your friends. It was such a fun game that I had to recode my script over and over and join the wars almost everynight. Nonetheless, such the wars were strongly prohibited in any IRC system because of too many contigeous commands needed - this would get the sever to work heavily. That’s why we were chased by IRCops (moderators who have a privilege to use OperServ commands). If you luckily got caught, your IP address would be banned for days and the room would be suspended for months.

     I quitted chatting on IRC system when I was in highschool - I didn’t actually mean to quit it but I just couldn’t have access to the IRC server. My dream of getting back to the game had been rethought many many times, and finally I just forgot it (lol, why not?). But at present, things have been changed. The last time I entered the IRC system, I hardly remembered which commands to use, and also almost all the policies had been changed as well - this made me totally lose appreciation with it. 

     Two or three yeard ago, I accidentally heard a game named Robocode. Robocode is a programmable tank game that each player has to write his own code in Java to fight each other. Yeah, this was supposed to be a game of wars, I thought. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not war-crazy. I also found that the tank war is more challenging than the IRC war in many aspects, like you need to know fundamental Physics, Maths and much more. I then became very fond of this game.  While most of the IRC war techniques are mostly fixed in pattern, the robocode war techniques can vary from programmers to programmers - some techniques are even in researches!

     I am not an expert in robocode, say, I’m very new at it; I’m just fascinated by it. I have created a few robots, and still they are not so competitive. As SIIT held a robocode competition, I had participated in and won the second prize. The figure above shows a one-on-one fighting between my robot (Galois) and my frined’s robot (BlowinInTheWind) -  the one that beated mine one the competition. If you love programming, thinking and wars, this game can be a very good choice for you.

programming, thinking and WARs!
