Program Title: P-ROBOTS
PC-SIG version: 1

P-ROBOTS is a game that helps teach programming in Pascal.  The
objective is to design and program a "robot" that can triumph over
similar robots designed and programmed by others in a real-time battle
of wits and flying missiles.

You control your robot by writing a procedure in Pascal to specify your
robot's behavior and strategy in its efforts to vanquish up to three
other robots in a battle to the death.  A variety of pre-defined
P-ROBOTS Pascal functions allow your robot to track its position on the
battlefield, monitor its health or damage condition, and calculate the
distance and angle to opponents from its current battlefield position.
Each robot is equipped with a cannon to fire missiles, and a motorized
drive mechanism to either close in for the kill of a hapless opponent or
flee from a fierce foe.

P-ROBOTS is an excellent way for the novice programmer to sharpen
his/her Pascal skills and have fun at the same time.  However, P-ROBOTS
does assume that the robot designer/programmer already knows the
fundamentals of programming in Pascal.

For the experienced programmer, P-ROBOTS offers a chance to see just how
well you program in a programming environment where "bad" code can lead
to graphic and ignoble defeat and "brilliant" code can bring triumph and
glory.
