RoboRacer is a turn-based race & battle game for 1 or more players. Players create movement programs for their robots in an attempt to be either the first to complete a race course or be the last bot left alive. Movement programs are specified by a sequence of 5 chips created from a hand of 9 chips (or fewer for damaged robots). The game is turn based - it waits for all players to enter their movement program for the current turn before proceeding. When the turn executes all movement programs are executed simultaneously. Bots may interfere with each other by shooting or pushing each other - so to do well at the game, players need to predict their opponents movements and find programs which best handle the possible interaction with their opponents.
Games generally advance a turn or two per day, depending on the speed and availability of the players involved. "Real-time" games can also be played when all players are online at the same time, allowing a full game to be played in one sitting.
