Robowar is a
freeware game ( formally
shareware ) for the
Apple Mac in which you
program and
pit robot gladiators against each other. There are small
tournaments held monthly, with large ones taking
place every six
months or so. You can
equip robots with an
arsenal of
weaponry and
features, with the
tournaments having
various categories depending on the
amount of
hardware on your
robot.
The robots are
programmed in a
language called
Robotalk, a
stack-
based language which is
similar to the
language used on HP
calculators. It's a very fun and
enjoyable game for
hackers, and is enjoyed by all
ages.
An
