Care to make my robot better?

In my last blog, I discussed my Robocode robot and what it does. Well now the source code of my robot is up online and can be found here. But then you ask "hey, what if I want to work on that project (or any other project) with a group of some of my friends?" Well, you can do that too with a little thing called subversion (SVN). What is SVN? SVN is a way to share files with groups of people, make changes, and then uploading it back for the others to work on. What is also very nice about it, is that it leaves a log of the changes made and when they were made.

I was able to finish all the tasks required for the SVN and found it to be very interesting. Before this "sharing" files would be done just be e-mail within the group and more times than none, all of the files are so different that you pretty much have to restart the entire project. The tasks themselves weren't too difficult as not too much programming was involved; it was more like, modifying some things.  The most important thing I think I learned from this is how you can share files through google and allow group members to work on said project while automatically keeping a log of the changes made.
