NessBots

[NessEngine]

Hello all,

 

I would like to show my finished web game - NessBots!

 

In this game you design and code a robot (in JavaScript), and send it out to fight challenges and other players. This is a programming game/challenge.

 

You can check it out here:

www.nessbots.com

 

you can check it out without registration (a mini-sandbox in the main page), but registering is very simple and easy and don't even require a real email (no confirmation), so please register to have to full experience of creating a bot!

 

I'd love to get some feedbacks and opinions about the game.

 

thanks!

My bot is the strongest.

Bot._BotPtr.__OwnerBot.Immortal = true;

 

edit: Forgot to actually say how great the game is. Pretty fun looking good, great concept.

Nice. I can see this being used to learn programming. In school we had this strange tool which would basically do the same as this game here. Though it had a much simple syntax. Might be an idea to make this one here more accessible. The event code looks really hard to read (especially the underscores). I think you should simplify the code a bit so people can get into the game faster. 
I would suggest removing the word register for each callback. Of course I don't know the code but wouldn't be this here much easier to read and understand?

Events.OnIdle(function() {		// Will be called when bot is idle	});

Maybe even remove the funtion()-word (But this could prove difficult, I can see that ).

hi guys,

thanks for the feedback!

+5 for code exploration

it will work in the sandbox but in real battles on the server it runs differently so it won't work. nice idea thought

thanks for the feedback.  you are right, those functions are too long and annoying, I will change them next time I'll update the code

Wow, thats impressive!

I'm not that into tank games but otherwise it would be fun to try
