How to use Robocode in C++

Prerequisites:
1. Install Java
2. Install Robocode
3. Install Robocode .NET (see inside version folder)

How to create a robot:
1. in VS, File -> New -> Project… select SLR Class Library

2. in Solution Explorer, right-click on References -> Add Reference…
browse to Robocode libs folder (C:\robocode\libs\), click on robocode.dll

3. Go to Project properties
Switch Common Language Runtime Support to ‘Safe MSIL Common Language Runtime Support (/clr:safe)’

4. Start coding.
Create class derived from Robot or AdvancedRobot;
Implement Virtual Methods like Run and OnScannedRobot, e.g.

System::Void RoboTestCPP::Robot1::Run()
{
	// -- Initialization of the robot --

	// Here we turn the robot to point upwards, and move the gun 90 degrees
	TurnLeft(Heading - 90);
	TurnGunRight(90);

	// Infinite loop making sure this robot runs till the end of the battle round
	while (true)
	{
		// -- Commands that are repeated forever --

		// Move our robot 5000 pixels ahead
		Ahead(5000);

		// Turn the robot 90 degrees
		TurnRight(90);

		// Our robot will move along the borders of the battle field
		// by repeating the above two statements.
	}
}

System::Void RoboTestCPP::Robot1::OnScannedRobot(Robocode::ScannedRobotEvent^ evnt)
{
	// We fire the gun with bullet power = 1
	Fire(1);
}

5. Compile

6. Go to Robocode, Options -> Preferences -> Development Options and Add folder to your dll

7. Battle -> New, Select your robot
