Nice! I never saw this page before. It could have probably saved me some time. -- Simonton

Indeed, that seems incredibly useful (and easy). Was it always like this? The format of .battle files seems very simple, too. Hey, welcome to the wiki, make a page for yourself dude! -- Voidious

I think almost all of those options have been available since Robocode 1.0.6 at least (probably not -nosound, since Robocode didn't have sound). -- Kawigi

Yes. I can add that -tps (turns per second) was previously named -fps (frames per second). However, if you run the game minimized using -nodisplay, then there is no need of setting -tps as it will always run at full speed in minimized mode. --Fnl
