Not an Imperial platform, but fun nonetheless. This little game is off SourceForge, and it allows you to design a basic ship (like the water kind

) and program its actions... the latter is the big thing, because there's only three different parts in the ship builder.

Anyway, programming is done via flow charts, not code, so anyone can pick it up quickly. I'd suggest everyone download it and check it out.

Too much work for too little gain. Ugh. And it appears to be too limited for my taste.

Nah, it really isn't too limited; you just have to be creative.

I didnÂ´t checked it yet but is it the one wich requires you to program the robotÂ´s behaviour -aiming, what to do, and so on?

That a different program, one that I've messed with before, but it sound similar.

Steel: Yes, basically.

JaggedFel: Which program are you refering to?

There's these battle bot things, that you program much like you described with their behaviour patterns. Can be as simple as move and shoot, or can even react to outside input, like hitting something or having something be in line of sight.
