Dirtbags Tanks is a game in which you pit your coding abilities
|
|
|
|
|
against other hackers. You write a program for your tank, set it out
|
|
|
|
|
on the battlefield, and watch how your program fares against tanks
|
|
|
|
|
written by other players. Dirtbags Tanks is frequently a component of
|
|
|
|
|
[Dirtbags Capture The Flag](/ctf/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each tank has a turret-mounted laser, two treads, up to ten sensors,
|
|
|
|
|
and a diagnostic LED. Sensors are used to detect when other tanks are
|
|
|
|
|
inside a given arc. In the examples on this page, "triggered" sensors
|
|
|
|
|
turn black. Most tanks will take some action if a sensor is
|
|
|
|
|
triggered, such as changing speed of the treads, turning the turret,
|
|
|
|
|
or firing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tanks are programmed in Forf, a stack-based language similar to
|
|
|
|
|
PostScript.
