Press Release Summary = New gaming software offers programmers a new avenue to code
for fun. In Bots: AI Battlefront, combat vehicles compete on a 3-D battlefield, but
instead of being controlled by humans, they are driven by Artificial Intelligence
(AI) programs written by the player/programmer.

Press Release Body = Atlanta, GA. May 30, 2007. Omega Technical Systems, LLC has
announced the release of Bots: AI Battlefront, free-of-charge gaming software that
puts the player in the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) programmer. Players code
the instructions for their bots (tank-like vehicles) to follow in an arena with
other bots, and then watch their performance as the game scenario plays out on a 3-D
battlefield.

The game\'s primary focus is on programming, letting players design and develop AI
that will prove victorious on the battlefield. Hand-eye coordination and real-time
human control give way to automation and intelligent design.

With instructions like Move, Scan, Turn, and Fire, an AI program tells the bot what
to do and feeds it information about its surroundings. Depending on its program, a
bot can advance and attack, run and hide, or any number of actions. Bots can also
communicate with each other for a team-based approach.

Since bots can perform a variety of tasks, players will likely appreciate the
comprehensive User Guide and detailed programming reference. These are designed to
give players the information they need to write AI and get the most enjoyment out of
the product.

Because players can pit their creations against each other or against those written
by other players, the gaming system may bring opportunities for different types of
challenges, and what amounts to unlimited competition and collaboration among
players.

The company anticipates that both new and experienced programmers will especially
enjoy the experience because it provides an outlet for doing something they probably
already enjoy, but in a different and perhaps more exciting arena.

Author Phil Baggett, a software developer with over 10 years in software
engineering, believes the product will have strong appeal for programmers. \"The aim
is to combine the challenges and rewards of programming with the fun and excitement
of 3 D gaming,\" he explained. \"A lot of developers love what they do -- they have a
real passion for it. And in terms of 3-D game combat, it\'s even more fun when your
program literally blows away the competition.\"

The product admittedly borrows from earlier game ideas in which \"AI programming\" is
the central focus of game-play. The company hopes to revive the concept in a big
way, while bringing it up to date with today\'s newer technologies, capitalizing on
the availability of modern development tools with features like real-time testing
and debugging.

The company expects wide appeal in part because of the open design of the gaming
system. Players can choose from any language that targets the .NET platform, rather
than being restricted to a single, scripting language for example. \"You can use what
you know or what you're more comfortable learning, whether that\'s C#, Visual Basic,
or whatever,\" suggested Mr. Baggett.

The price tag is undoubtedly a major point of attraction as well: the product is
available free of charge to individuals. Offering a full, unrestricted product at no
charge gives it a much broader audience, resulting in what the company hopes to be a
big following.

\"We want this to be available for anyone to play around with,\" Mr. Baggett
clarified, \"and offering it for free provides accurate insight into the real
interest level of this kind of product. We think people will have loads of fun with
it, but improvements and add-ons will depend on community interest. User feedback
will be crucial in determining the product\'s longevity.\"
