Do you find it difficult to at the same time watch your rovers behaviour AND read its output in the debug-message-line? Download the NumericDisplay, a mountable 'scoreboard' for your rover.

Hall of Fame

No major changes in the hall due to the new arena-combat-entries.
Unfortunately BP drops out of the hall as his Fireleader is withdrawn - bot builder replaces him at 25th.

Dec 31, 2005:
Hall of Fame

After Sord completely rerunning TotalWar the Hall ist up to date again.
Due to a database-error Emilio got the scores for one of D&O's rovers - this was corrected, explaining the changes in the ranking of those two. Other changes are due to the TW-rerun (new seed, new entries).
I'm quite eager to see Battlespot's other contests redone.

Maverick enters the Killer Bs (retiring Shockwave) and manages a 10/0/0 record not losing a single field !!! It's really worth watching that crew...
(Hall is up to date)

Mar. 23, 2005:

From now on three teams may be submitted per player. Malakia's second entry ranks in at 6th.

Two new entries at the Temple: Malakia upgrades to Wolfpack_laser and climbs to 2nd while my new team "Whoozles" seizes first.

Feb. 25, 2005:
(Hall of Fame)

After almost one year of absence from Europa I finally found my way back to the arena... Update of the Hall of Fame is available - D&O's drop might be due to a calculation-error in earlier versions.

(Temple Triplette)

Having done some testing and coding, I feel now able to reopen my TT-contest...
Be sure to download the updated version of the scenario (minor changes for the sake of a faster AutoRun).

Mar. 18, 2004:

Seems there's two new bands in town: Malakia does jump up to 6th in the Hall with his impressing coup in TotalWar, and Tikatt rushes from 27 to 14 (!) - congrats to both of you...

Nov. 04, 2003:
(Hall of Fame)

While the top 25 do only change slightly, there's much movement in the lower ranks: Tikatt shoots up 14 places and is now only two points from appearing in the hall...

Okt. 23, 2003:
(Hall of Fame)

He finally did it: Maverick seizes the throne in the Hall.

Okt. 15, 2003:
(Hall of Fame)

Maverick jumps again, now being 2nd. As I expected an entry to ChaosReigns causes a major chaos to the 'Hall'. Btw: Welcome, BP to the TOP25.

Maverick jumps to 5th, leaving only one single point between him, Corvos and myself.

Feb. 24, 2003:

First contact: found, downloaded and fell for MindRover.

What is MindRover?

Well, maybe I should quote CogniToy here - this is what they say:

"MindRover is 'the Intelligent Robot Simulation' or perhaps you can call it a 3D strategy/programming game. This is a new genre that encompasses the depth of play found in strategy games with a new concept in player control. You get to program the intelligence of robotic vehicles."
