Robots is a
computer game originally developed for the
UNIX operating system, and later reproduced as clone games for various platforms. Robots is played on a two-dimensional rectangular grid. The objective of the game is to escape from a number of
robots, which have been programmed with only a single objective: to kill you.The game is turn-based. The player character starts at the centre of the grid and the robots start at randomly selected locations around him. Every time the player character moves a square in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), each robot moves one square closer to him, in whichever direction is the shortest way.
