How to play this game effectively is not obvious when you first join. Would be nice to have an area to guide new players through the game, including what you need to do to compete.

I’m sure we have enough expert players who would give a little time to pull together some ‘how tos’.

This would have the added advantage wiggin of changing the old language & embed preferred terms from the get go.

Great idea. I'd see it as something that sets out the basics of scoring, leveling, concept of freaking (for tourneys), and logic for the main bot types that players build.

Could be made this available through the documentation section, or some other method that people can easily refer back to (like the bots unauthorized site). The new player intro could refer people to our community guide, and then it's up to them how much of the bots4 encyclopedia they want to brush up on.

I stumbled across this thread which is probably still helpful for a complete newbie looking to build their first bot, but I'm sure we could do a much better job with a bit of effort: https://bots4.net/forum/2/2319

Make sure to include the information that you don't actually play on your bot, instead you make dozens of other bots to play on and lose to your "main" bot on purpose.

include also on how to manage trophy points well.
