IntelliBots

VERSION - UPDATE: 1.1.2 (Jun. 96)
README:
"The programming language used in IntelliBots is a form of assembly language. We use assembly so the student is able to get a grasp of how software really works, and what the interaction of the software is with the computer. High-level languages were created to hide the computer from the programmer, and as a result simplify the programmers work. Even though many high-level languages accomplish this goal, in doing so they inadvertently hide some of the processes that are most important in understanding how software works and, therefore, should be written.
The basic concept of IntelliBots is that you write programs that control IBots (simulated robots) on a Locale (map)."
"This new version, besides bug fixes and enhancements, now runs native on PowerMacs."
