We list and identify the criteria that categorise a PBL problem as good and validate the RoboCode domain against these criteria. PBL emphasizes a real-world approach to learning, and we present a RoboCode Competition as a candidate for a good, realistic PBL problem within the computer science discipline. Often in a 1v1 contest both robots implement great aiming and tracking systems, so the key to victory is often in movement strategy.
The net result means that there are few good PBL problems available to assist new practitioners with implementation. AIBot movement strategy A general introduction to Robocode is presented in Appendix 1, the following description assumes a good understanding of general Robocode functionality and strategy. Solving problems is a vital element within Computer Science and yet the discipline has been slow to embrace PBL as an approach to learning. In order to function effectively in a PBL environment a good set of problems is required. The fundamental principle behind Problem-based Learning (PBL) is that the problem is the driving force that initiates the learning. Virtual Combat is a competition designed as an extension to Robocode.RoboCode & problem-based learning: a non-prescriptive approach to teaching programming RoboCode & problem-based learning: a non-prescriptive approach to teaching programming
