Many of you may have discovered RoboWar on a BBS since I finished it a few
months ago.  In RoboWar, you program your robot to move about an arena and
fight other people's robots.  So far I've gotten a very exciting response
from people who have enjoyed/been addicted to the game.  If you love to hack,
be sure to get it.

RoboWar is available from anonymous ftp at sumex-aim.stanford.edu or at any
of many bulletin boards.  It is a shareware program.  I am asking $10, which
I feel is very reasonable, especially since it entitles you to updates and
information about all future tournaments.  If you can't find RoboWar anywhere
else, send me a check for $10 and I'll mail you a copy.

There is a RoboWar tournament coming up January 16.  Robots from all around
the country will be competing for awards in several categories.  Perhaps you'll
win money; at the very least you'll win glory and the knowledge of how your
favorite robot stacks up against everyone elses.  Drop me some email if you'd
like a copy of the tournament rules.

Happy hacking,

David Harris
