I have just released the first version of Brisk Battle, a robot programming game. Basically, your aim is to write the behaviour of a robot (a "Bot") in order to defeat the other bots of the arena.
You can either play offensively by trying to destroy other bots with your gun, or you can collect gems and reach the target score before the others.

I have set up a dedicated board on my site, with a quick FAQ here:

Being a Programming game, it certainly needs some docs, so here it is:

I imagine a few screenshots are a must, so even though graphical prettiness is not the point, here we go:

This sounds like fun! Robot programming games are one of my favourites.

Ooh downloading now:)

Edit: Problems unzipping, its saying for every file it cannot create them, though it does seem to. I ran the program for about 30 seconds when it crashed with an error (That I forgot to actually look at). Also can't seem to quit out of the game using the game menu, no buttons work for me and had to ctrl+alt+delete out. Maybe it was the unzip problem.

Using WinZip

I updated the zip, it should be OK now (there were some files in the mac binary that zip programs seem to dislike).
Concerning the game menu, there's a catch: it currently only works with the keyboard, not with the mouse.

Ok no errors unzipping, and how silly of me not to try keyboard on the menu:)

Here is the error I get while running the game about all the time randomly:
