Roadmap

Currently, the main priority is:

• Stabilizing the bot API, server, and UI.

These features are planned:

• Bridge for running legacy Robocode robots as bots in Tank Royale (work in progress).
• Javascript API distributed as Node module + sample bots for using this API.
• Graphical debugging similar to the original Robocode.

These are some ordinary ideas:

• Boot bots from git repositories using some sort of sandbox (due to security).
• Create a rumble like LiteRumble on top of the server.
• Support for new relevant platforms and/or programming languages, e.g. Python.

These are some crazy ideas:

• Provide a game mode with levels, where a bot must defeat better and better bots. A way to measure how good a bot is, but also a way to improve a bot.
• Introduce new game modes like e.g. capture the flag (visit X number of flags), king of the hill (stay in some random areas for the longest time), rabbit (receive the least damage, when you are the rabbit/target).
