	Robocode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robocode is a free educational game provided by IBM.
		They demonstrate various basic techniques used in coding robots, from event-driven programming to writing out data to be used later.
		The two main active competitions are the RoboRumble@Home, a continuous league based on distributed computation in a similar way to SETI@Home, and the Robocode Little League, a weekly competition specifically for codesize-constrained bots.

		RoboCode is an excellent freeware game from IBM that teaches the basics of Java in a competitive game setting: program robots (in Java, of course) to fight against other robots.
		Robocode comes with a set of pre-fab opponents to get you started, but once you outgrow them, you can enter your creation against the world's best in one of the leagues being formed worldwide.
		Robocode leagues (or roboleagues), in which people pit their custom creations against each other over the Internet, are springing up fast.
