alice-teacher robots in Alice

[William Stanard]

Fellow Alicians,

Not wanting to be left behind in the local (Miami) craze for robots in secondary schools, I wondered if anyone had experience building battling 'bots in Alice.

As I envision it, each contestant would program an Alice object (maybe, for instance, the gorilla robot) to be a warrior and would save that programmed object as a Class (lots of warrior-like methods complete with parameters to input an opponent) for placement in a world created by the Game Master (e.g., the Alice teacher). The robot who scores the most points, wins the contest. Has anyone tried anything like this?

Regards,
Bill
