Message-ID:

come one, come all to the grant opening of the mikeBot Project web pages.

mikeBot is a *fully* autonomous client-side quake bot. it is not stooge,

nor stooge-like; mikeBot has no human driver, and is much lower on the

development curve.

however, these pages explain the aims, what is done already, and have some

.DEMos to download (there is no binary or source...yet)

i may release my client-server code, done in C++ currently on SunOS and

AIX using GNU g++, which should provide a nice, easy-to-use low level for

other bot developers to build on.

the pages are located at:

http://www.ucalgary.ca/~mbwarren/mikeBot/

and are also linked from, and are really part of Lair of the QuakeBot at
