This is a Scala project in which you can write and compile Robocode robots.
To then be able to run them in Robocode itself, there are two things to do:
-
Add the Scala library as a dependency to the robotcode shell script; and
-
Add your target/classes path to the "Developer Options" in Robocode itself.
Details below.
Once you've done that you can sbt and compile away. You can restart a battle in Robocode and it appears to pick up changes.
This repository contains a sample.ScalaMyFirstRobot which is the same as MyFirstRobot but syntactically ported to Scala.
In my installation of robocode, I coped robocode.sh and added in the path to Scala std lib:
robocode$ cat scalarobocode.sh
#!/bin/sh
