Yes, I know it's been a really long time since the last update.

Since the 0.1.0 release, a new GUI client has been written to replace the old one.

Finally, a complete version of IWOR has been released! The must important feature added is the ability of cloning. There are a lot of new things and changes. Take a look at changelog to find more.
There's also two new tutorials: How to write a simple robot for IWOR, C++ and Python edition.
Hope you enjoy it!

A nearly complete version of IWOR. Now robots can pickup crystals, drop them to factories, and factories can consume these supplies in order to produce energy. Many new commands, configuration file, sample robots, and much more! don't miss this one!

All of the major bugs are fixed. There's no known bug in this release. Also a simple 2D GUI is added. Now you can watch your robots moving around visually!

IWOR now will support new commands, some major bugs are fixed, but still incompleted! Robots can sense objects around using their radar.

First version of IWOR is released! This is an incomplete version, just for testing. Robots can only move around the world blindly. There's also some known bugs.
