You launched Warbot: congratulations.

You are now in front of a display which should look like this :

Click to enlarge

This display is made of two elements: The Warbot environment, bounded by walls, and a window containing tabs.

Each tab in the bottom of the screen represents a team, except:

• the dumb tab which represents the two demo teams (a red one and a green one),
• the objects tab which represents objects that can be put in the environment (a hamburger, a wall and a weapon).

Each team is made of a home and two kinds of agents: explorers and launchers. Home itself is also s special kind of agent. The three icons under the tabs enable the uset to select what kind of agent is to be created. Once this selection is done, a clic in the empty area allow to point at its initial position in the Warbot environment.

We have now to populate such a desperately empty screen. To do so, let us select the dumb tab. Let us add to our world a home, 6 launchers and 8 explorers (in each team: a red one and a green one). Then let us add thirty hamburgers, 6 walls and 3 weapons (which appear as small points in the environment: they are hidden in the soil).

We obtain a display which looks like this.
