View source for Robocode Repository

The '''Robocode Repository''' is a now-defunct website that formerly hosted [[Robocode/Package Robot|robot JARs]] for download.

The Repository was launched on August 25, 2001 by Dan Lynn. (This means it preceded the [[RoboWiki]] itself, which launched in 2003). The website provided a space for [[:Category:Bot Authors|bot authors]] to describe their bots and host their JARs or sources, as well as a forum for discussion. Many sections of it (e.g. Tips, Code Snippets) were planned but never completed. Development halted after 2006, amid promises that this would be a temporary situation "until the new [[wikipedia:Ruby on Rails|Rails]]-based site is ready".

When the entire website was finally shut down without announcement in November 2015, many historically important bots were lost. Fortunately, all [[RoboRumble]] participants were spared, their JARs being recovered from client robot stores. [[Rednaxela]] and [[Jdev]] quickly launched mirrors of they JARs they had ([http://robocode-archive.strangeautomata.com/robots/ StrangeAutomata], [https://github.com/aleksey-zhidkov/rc-repo-mirror GitHub]), and all broken Robocode Repository links on the wiki were mass-converted in 2017.
