''robots'' is a computer game that was developed for the Unix-based operating system Berkeley Software Distribution by Ken Arnold. In this turn-based game, players are tasked with escaping from robots programmed to pursue and kill them. The BSD Unix version of ''robots'' first appeared in the 4.3BSD software release in June 1986.〔(4.3BSD robots(6) man page )〕〔(4.3BSD robots source code )〕 In May 1985, a very similar game also called ''robots'', written by Allan R. Black, was posted to the Usenet newsgroup ''net.sources.games''.〔(robots, by Allan R. Black )〕 ==Gameplay== ''robots'' is played on a two-dimensional rectangular grid. The objective of the game is to escape from a number of robots, which have been programmed with only a single objective: to kill the player. The game is turn-based. In the original game the player character starts at a randomly selected location. In some derivative versions, such as the GNOME version, the player starts at the centre of the grid. The robots start at randomly selected locations on the grid. Every time the player character moves a square in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), each robot moves one square closer to him, in whichever direction is the shortest way. If the player character collides with a robot, he dies and the game ends. However, the robots are also fatal to each other - when two robots collide, they both die, leaving behind a scrap heap. These scrap heaps are also fatal to robots and the player. The player can also teleport into a randomly selected location in cases where escape is otherwise impossible. A teleportation counts as a move. However, because the location is randomly selected, it is possible that the player teleports right into the path of a robot. In some versions of the game, there is a "safe teleport" feature which the player may use a limited number of times (for instance once per level) and there may also be a close-range weapon which kills all robots within the immediate vicinity, the use of which would be limited in a similar way. When all robots on a level are dead, the player moves onto another level, with more robots. Traditionally, the number of robots increases by ten each level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robots (computer game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
