Hi Billy,

This sounds really interesting! =F0=9F=98=8A
Please also spread this on the Facebook group for=20
Robocode: https://www.facebook.com/groups/129627130234

And also take a look at Robocode Tank Royale (new platform for Robocode):

https://github.com/robocode-dev/tank-royale
https://robocode.dev/

It would be great to have something like that for Robocode Tank Royale.

I am thinking on letting people share robots from git using a central git=
=20
repo, where people must do a PR to add their bot so it is visible for=20
others.
The PR is necessary to check for vulnerability and other security stuff,=20
and we need moderation of the PRs.

I don't hope Robocode is dead because I will stop developing on the =20
Robocode Tank Royale, if that is the case.

Cheers,
- Flemming
