Interface IStandardRobotPeer

All Superinterfaces:
  IBasicRobotPeer

All Known Subinterfaces:

    public interface IStandardRobotPeer

extends IBasicRobotPeer

The standard robot peer for standard robot types like `Robot`, `AdvancedRobot`, and `TeamRobot`.

A robot peer is the object that deals with game mechanics and rules, and makes sure your robot abides by them.

Method Detail

### stop

    void stop(boolean overwrite)

  Immediately stops all movement, and saves it for a call to `resume()`. If there is already movement saved from a previous stop, you can overwrite it by calling `stop(true)`.

  Parameters:
    `overwrite` - If there is already movement saved from a previous stop, you can overwrite it by calling `stop(true)`.
  See Also:
    `resume()`

### resume

    void resume()

  Immediately resumes the movement you stopped by `stop(boolean)`, if any.

  This call executes immediately, and does not return until it is complete.

  See Also:
    `stop(boolean)`

### turnRadar

    void turnRadar(double radians)

  Immediately turns the robot's radar to the right or left by radians. This call executes immediately, and does not return until it is complete, i.e. when the angle remaining in the radar's turn is 0.

  Note that both positive and negative values can be given as input, where positive values means that the robot's radar is set to turn right, and negative values means that the robot's radar is set to turn left. If 0 is given as input, the robot's radar will stop turning.

  Example:

         // Turn the robot's radar 180 degrees to the right
         turnRadar(Math.PI);

         // Afterwards, turn the robot's radar 90 degrees to the left
         turnRadar(-Math.PI / 2);

  Parameters:
    `radians` - the amount of radians to turn the robot's radar. If `radians` > 0 the robot's radar is set to turn right. If `radians` < 0 the robot's radar is set to turn left. If `radians` = 0 the robot's radar is set to stop turning.

### setAdjustGunForBodyTurn

    void setAdjustGunForBodyTurn(boolean independent)

  Sets the gun to turn independent from the robot's turn.

  Ok, so this needs some explanation: The gun is mounted on the robot's body. So, normally, if the robot turns 90 degrees to the right, then the gun will turn with it as it is mounted on top of the robot's body. To compensate for this, you can call `setAdjustGunForBodyTurn(true)`. When this is set, the gun will turn independent from the robot's turn, i.e. the gun will compensate for the robot's body turn.

  Note: This method is additive until you reach the maximum the gun can turn. The "adjust" is added to the amount you set for turning the robot, then capped by the physics of the game. If you turn infinite, then the adjust is ignored (and hence overridden).

  Example, assuming both the robot and gun start out facing up (0 degrees):

         // Set gun to turn with the robot's turn
         setAdjustGunForBodyTurn(false); // This is the default
         turnBodyRight(Math.PI / 2);
         // At this point, both the robot and gun are facing right (90 degrees)
         turnBodyLeft(Math.PI / 2);
         // Both are back to 0 degrees

         -- or --

         // Set gun to turn independent from the robot's turn
         setAdjustGunForBodyTurn(true);
         turnBodyRight(Math.PI / 2);
         // At this point, the robot is facing right (90 degrees), but the gun is still facing up.
         turnBodyLeft(Math.PI / 2);
         // Both are back to 0 degrees.

  Note: The gun compensating this way does count as "turning the gun". See `setAdjustRadarForGunTurn(boolean)` for details.

  Parameters:
    `independent` - `true` if the gun must turn independent from the robot's turn; `false` if the gun must turn with the robot's turn.

    `setAdjustRadarForGunTurn(boolean)`

### setAdjustRadarForGunTurn

    void setAdjustRadarForGunTurn(boolean independent)

  Sets the radar to turn independent from the gun's turn.

  Ok, so this needs some explanation: The radar is mounted on the robot's gun. So, normally, if the gun turns 90 degrees to the right, then the radar will turn with it as it is mounted on top of the gun. To compensate for this, you can call `setAdjustRadarForGunTurn(true)`. When this is set, the radar will turn independent from the robot's turn, i.e. the radar will compensate for the gun's turn.

  Note: This method is additive until you reach the maximum the radar can turn. The "adjust" is added to the amount you set for turning the robot, then capped by the physics of the game. If you turn infinite, then the adjust is ignored (and hence overridden).

  Example, assuming both the gun and radar start out facing up (0 degrees):

         // Set radar to turn with the gun's turn
         setAdjustRadarForGunTurn(false); // This is the default
         turnGunRight(Math.PI / 2);
         // At this point, both the radar and gun are facing right (90 degrees);

         -- or --

         // Set radar to turn independent from the gun's turn
         setAdjustRadarForGunTurn(true);
         turnGunRight(Math.PI / 2);
         // At this point, the gun is facing right (90 degrees), but the radar is still facing up.

  Note: Calling `setAdjustRadarForGunTurn(boolean)` will automatically call `setAdjustRadarForBodyTurn(boolean)` with the same value, unless you have already called it earlier. This behavior is primarily for backward compatibility with older Robocode robots.

  Parameters:
    `independent` - `true` if the radar must turn independent from the gun's turn; `false` if the radar must turn with the gun's turn.

### setAdjustRadarForBodyTurn

    void setAdjustRadarForBodyTurn(boolean independent)

  Sets the radar to turn independent from the robot's turn.

  Ok, so this needs some explanation: The radar is mounted on the gun, and the gun is mounted on the robot's body. So, normally, if the robot turns 90 degrees to the right, the gun turns, as does the radar. Hence, if the robot turns 90 degrees to the right, then the gun and radar will turn with it as the radar is mounted on top of the gun. To compensate for this, you can call `setAdjustRadarForBodyTurn(true)`. When this is set, the radar will turn independent from the robot's turn, i.e. the radar will compensate for the robot's turn.

  Note: This method is additive until you reach the maximum the radar can turn. The "adjust" is added to the amount you set for turning the gun, then capped by the physics of the game. If you turn infinite, then the adjust is ignored (and hence overridden).

  Example, assuming the robot, gun, and radar all start out facing up (0 degrees):

         // Set radar to turn with the robots's turn
         setAdjustRadarForBodyTurn(false); // This is the default
         turnRight(Math.PI / 2);
         // At this point, the body, gun, and radar are all facing right (90 degrees);

         -- or --

         // Set radar to turn independent from the robot's turn
         setAdjustRadarForBodyTurn(true);
         turnRight(Math.PI / 2);
         // At this point, the robot and gun are facing right (90 degrees), but the radar is still facing up.

  Parameters:
    `independent` - `true` if the radar must turn independent from the robots's turn; `false` if the radar must turn with the robot's turn.
