Tank Warriors

Driving, shooting, explosions, and programming—all in one game! Take charge of your own personal tank to battle your way through multilevel arenas, defeating the enemy and completing objectives. Upgrade your tanks to be faster, tougher, and more powerful than your opponents. Hack your tank’s AI to outsmart the enemy’s tank to become reigning champion! Build your tank fleet, with real code… can you outsmart your own AI?

Level up your coding skills by learning and practicing functions, parameters, syntax, and more.

Players must use commands and keywords to create AI programs for their tanks. Each command/keyword has different requirements and will need either a conditional, a parameter, or nothing. The keywords expect players to guess their purpose and experiment; for example, turnTank is a function that requires a parameter, so it must need a turn angle to be given as a parameter. During battles, players can edit their tank’s code and view enemy’s AI, and the tank’s current line of code shows on the bottom of the screen to keep track. Your tank starts with a green ring of health that becomes lower and redder as the tank gets hit by bullets; in player-controlled mode, be sure to collect heart balloons to heal when your ring is low and red. In AI mode, be sure to program your tank with commands that move it out of enemy range.
