Try Intergalactics robots. by Axiom · 2002-05-07 07:40 · Score: 4, Informative

Another great Java "robot" platform is Intergalactics. Here, you right computer players for a risk-based strategy game. The best thing about this is that humans and robots all compete on the same playing field. And, the game is such that robots and humans compete fairly equally. It's pretty fun, and it's an easy API to learn and use.
