Hello,
I never tried it (yet) but Java people seem to have taken this idea too:

Follow along as Sing Li disarms Robocode and starts you on your way to building your own customized lean, mean, fighting machine. "

PCRobots is a programming game written by P. D. Smith. It's sort
of a tank game, the tanks have to fight each other. But you can't
control your tank: It is controlled by a programm you have to write!
The best program wins.

PCRobots is very easy to handle: You can use most (DOS) compilers
to create your robots. Robots can build teams, different maps (with
obstacles) can be used, PCRobots has a graphical display and even
some sound.
You can download the game from here:
http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~hbecker/prg/pcrob141.zip
and read some of the details in the manual:
PCROBOTS.DOC
a text file.
I did enjoy playing with it in 1998 when I taught a first year
programming course using PCRobots and Turbo C.
