Programming - Setup

In order to develop a robot controller for the Robotstadium contest, you will need to download and install the FREE version of the Webots software. The FREE version is available from the Cyberbotics web site. Webots is available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows:

http://www.cyberbotics.com/products/webots/download.htm

You do not need to register for the "30 days full featured version", but you can if you want. If you register, your copy of Webots will be temporarily turned into a fully featured PRO version for a period of 30 days non-renewable. After the 30 days it will automatically turn back into a FREE version.
Additional Software

You will need to install separate software development tools for the programming language you choose:
Java

If you choose to develop your controller in Java, you will need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) for Java Standard Edition (SE). This software is freely available from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/javase. You will find more info about the Java installation for Webots here.
Python

Webots is compatible with Python 2.6. If you want to develop your controller in Python, you will find more information here.
C/C++

If you choose to develop a C/C++ controller, you will need a C/C++ compiler. On Windows, a free compiler (MinGW) is packaged and configured with Webots distribution, so no extra installation is required. On Mac OS X, you will need to install the Xcode developer tools. Xcode is available for free from http://developer.apple.com/tools. On Linux, you will just need to install the GNU C Compiler (gcc) and/or the GNU C++ Compiler (g++) package.

Although you can develop and test your C/C++ controllers on Windows and Mac OS X, please note that the final version that you upload to this server must be compiled as a Linux 32-bit or 64-bit binary. Please find more info in the Programming -> Upload section.
