Re: Development of Naval Robocode

Hi Colin,

all of this sounds great. Usual github flow is to clone repository on
github, then create branch in your clone. Then you would be able to submit
pull request to naval branch of main robocode repository.

It would surelly interesting for all of us, if you could elaborate about
your design plans. Details of your new game rules and impact for the game
strategy for example. Perhaps such discussion could also help you to
clarify your thoughts.

Cheers
Pavel
