Re: Override default inactivity time

Hi Tom,

I guess you mean if the RobocodeEngine provide an API for setting the 
inactivity time and other battle rules as well?

The RobocodeEngine has these 3 methods, where you can provide a 
BattleSpecification:

void runBattle 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/RobocodeEngine.html#runBattle-robocode.control.BattleSpecification->
(BattleSpecification 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/BattleSpecification.html>
 battleSpecification)
Runs the specified battle.
void runBattle 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/RobocodeEngine.html#runBattle-robocode.control.BattleSpecification-boolean->
(BattleSpecification 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/BattleSpecification.html> battleSpecification, 
boolean waitTillOver)
Runs the specified battle.
void runBattle 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/RobocodeEngine.html#runBattle-robocode.control.BattleSpecification-java.lang.String-boolean->
(BattleSpecification 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/BattleSpecification.html>
 battleSpecification, String 
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true> initialPositions, 
boolean waitTillOver)
Runs the specified battle.


A BattleSpecification 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/BattleSpecification.html>has 
various constructors, where you must provide the battle rules like e.g. the 
inactivity time:

BattleSpecification 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/BattleSpecification.html#BattleSpecification-robocode.control.BattlefieldSpecification-int-long-double-int-boolean-robocode.control.RobotSpecification:A-robocode.control.RobotSetup:A->
(BattlefieldSpecification 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/BattlefieldSpecification.html> battlefieldSize, 
int numRounds, long inactivityTime, double gunCoolingRate, 
int sentryBorderSize, boolean hideEnemyNames, RobotSpecification 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/RobotSpecification.html>
[] robots, RobotSetup 
<http://robocode.sourceforge.net/docs/robocode/robocode/control/RobotSetup.html>
[] initialSetups)

So yes, it is possible to do. :-)

When not using the RobocodeEngine, a .battle file can be saved, which can 
can be specified using the -battle option for Robocode when starting. 
Robocode will automatically start a battle with the rules and robots 
specified in the .battle file.

I hope this helps?

Best regards,
