package robocode.robotinterfaces;
/**
* A robot interface for creating the most primitive robot type, which is a
* {@link robocode.JuniorRobot}. A junior robot is simpler than the
* {@link robocode.Robot} class.
* <p/>
* A junior robot has a simplified model, in purpose of teaching programming
* skills to inexperienced in programming students.
* The simplified robot model will keep player from overwhelming of Robocode's
* rules, programming syntax and programming concept.
* <p/>
* Instead of using getters and setters, public fields are provided for
* receiving information like the last scanned robot, the coordinate of the
* robot etc.
* <p/>
* All methods on a junior robot are blocking calls, i.e. they do not return
* before their action has been completed and will at least take one turn to
* execute.
