Re: Multiple battles headless?

I have not tried to run multiple instances of the RobocodeEngine within the 
same application.
So I don't know if it will work, but it should be easy for you to try out.

Regarding accessing resources concurrently, it should not be a problem as 
long as the robot instance does not write it's data to the same file as 
another robot instance.

You might also try to run the RobocodeEngine from multiple processes e.g. 
from a shell/batch script or similar.

Cheers,
