A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Program. Compete. Outthink your opponent.

No Code Barred is an upcoming programming-based strategy game where you write scripts to control autonomous robots in a combat arena. Instead of directly battling, you design the logic that powers your robot’s behavior—from movement and targeting to advanced systems like lasers, shields, and frequency-based tactics. Once the battle starts, your robot runs on its own, leaving only your code to determine victory or defeat.

As of alpha-1.1.0, there are a few preset examples (Mac, Charlie, Sweet Dee) and a blank robot (Dennis) for you to explore the scripting engine.
