Overview
This page is to describe the changes that have been made to the RoboCode-compliant part of the API to accomodate how BZFlag worsk.
API Changes
Behaviour changes
- execute() - No longer "blocks" until the action is completed - it returns immediately unless you're currently completing an action. This also goes for other functions, see their relevant protocol messages in BZRobots/Protocol ("Steady-state required?"). This is because BZFlag is realtime (and RoboCode isn't).
Name changes
- getHeight() - Renamed to getLength(). This is because "height" in three dimensions refers to an different axis than what getHeight in two dimensions (and RoboCode) refers to.
