BZRobots/Protocol
BZRobots Enhanced Protocol
This is a draft of the protocol that's being planned for the new bzrobots as a part of GSoC. The protocol is inspired by the API it will convey the messages of, which in turn is inspired by RoboCode. ;-)
| Message syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| SOME_COMMAND_HERE <float> | THIS RUNS SOME COMMAND WITH FLOAT ARGUMENT |

| setTurnRight <degrees> | Sets planned turn (for next 'execute') that turns 'degrees' degrees to the right, same as setTurnLeft -degrees. |
