anyone play this before? i remember having fun with it in middle school, though i never was any good at it. basically you have to use a simple programming language to design AI code for your tank. you then put your tank in a battle and see if the AI can control it well enough to win against other AI, either preset ones or others that were created.

there isn't any real gameplay and it's more of a learning process for basic programming, but it's still pretty cool.
