RobocodeNG is the continuation of the excelent job done by Mathew Nelson, which is the creator of Robocode.

The NG in RobocodeNG stands for Next Generation, meaning that the intension is the extend the original Robocode game with new features.

The original robocode is a game where artificially controlled tanks battle to the death in an arena. RobocodeNG Spices up the game adding better graphics, mods, guns, armors, tank bodies, etc, to introduce the great unbalance that the Robocode community needed.

RobocodeNG is based on Robocode version 1.0.7. If Mathew will ever make new versions of Robocode, we will of course make sure that RobocodeNG is updated accordingly.
