bot This is an Arcade Game Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen and System 7.1 by Mactivity. As a bot programmer, it is your task to design and build winning bots, robotic gladiators that are placed in an Arena for a battle to the death. Using a careful combination of offensive and defensive hardware and software, you must build a bot that can survive the ordeals of combat in the Arena. Thus, your objective in designing a bot is to make sure that the bot can seek out other bots in the Arena and destroy them before it is itself destroyed. Of course, the other bots in the arena will be trying to destroy your bot, so you must be clever and strategic while building and programming. 'bot comes in two pieces: the 'bot Developer module, where you design and equip your bots, and the 'bot Arena module, where you pit your bots against others. Both of these applications are completely MultiFinder compatible. For example, you can load bots into the Arena by double-clicking on them in the Finder, even when Arena application is already open. You can also run Arena battles or tournaments in the background under MultiFinder - when the combat is over, a small robot icon will flash over the apple icon on the left of the menu bar to let you know that the combat has ended. 'bot is also System 7.0 compatible. If you are running 'bot Arena under MultiFinder or System 7.0, and you want to run a combat with a number of very large bots, you may get an "out of memory" error. If this happens, you should increase the size of the application's partition (the box in the lower right corner of the Get Info window) to 512K. Under normal operation, or under System 6 Finder, there should be no need for this change. Back to the Computer Games Index
