Package robocode
Class SkippedTurnEvent
java.lang.Object
robocode.Event
robocode.SkippedTurnEvent
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Comparable<Event>
A SkippedTurnEvent is sent to
onSkippedTurn()
when your robot is forced to skipping a turn.
You must take an action every turn in order to participate in the game.
For example,
try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // Immediately reasserts the exception by interrupting the caller thread // itself. Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); }will cause many SkippedTurnEvents, because you are not responding to the game. If you receive 30 SkippedTurnEvents, you will be removed from the round.
Instead, you should do something such as:
for (int i = 0; i invalid input: '<' 30; i++) {
doNothing(); // or perhaps scan();
}
This event may also be generated if you are simply doing too much processing between actions, that is using too much processing power for the calculations etc. in your robot.
