| 19 | | == Robocode == |
| 20 | | Once you have a solid foundation in Java, you can use the Robocode to hone your skills in a fun way. Robocode creates a virtual robot arena on your computer where you can program virtual robots and battle them against pre-programmed robots supplied with the simulator or robots programmed by your friends. |
