Re: getTime()

I am not sure if I understand your question. But I will give it a try.

Time in Robocode is measured in turns. So first turn is turn one, then 
follows turn 2, turn 3, turn 4 and so on. Every robot needs to call tell 
Robocode what to do, e.g. turnLeft(90), ahead(10) etc. At the end of a 
turn, a robot must call execute() either directly or indirectly.

Please notice that the speed of the bullet depends on the bullet power, 
i.e. bullet speed = (20 - 3 * bullet power). So when you fire a heavy 
bullet with power = 3, the bullet will move 20 - 3 * 3 = 11 units/turn. If 
the bullet power = 0.1, the speed is 20 - 3 * 0.1 = 19.7 units/turn.
You can use this to calculate how many turns it will take a bullet to 
travel from your robot to some point from the distance to that point (or 
robot):  number of turn = distance / speed. Also notice that the robot will 
properly be moving. So the final distance will be greater.

I recommend that you study the articles on the RoboWiki 
<http://robowiki.net/>regarding targeting<http://robowiki.net/wiki/Targeting>, 
which contains basically everything you need to get started. :-)
