C++Robots is an ongoing "King of the Hill" (KotH) tournament in which
players use the C/C++ language to create a control program for a robot.
Your program controls a robot whose mission is to seek out and destroy
any other robots it finds.  You submit your C/C++ control program to the
C++Robots server for evaluation.  Your program is compiled by the GNU C++
compiler and loaded into a robot.  Your robot then fights each of the
robots "on the hill", one at a time.  Each match consists of 5 rounds.
You get 3 points for winning a round, and 1 point for a draw.  If your
total score is better than any of the other robots currently on the hill,
you have "made the hill", assuming the appropriate position, and bumping
the lowest scoring robot from the hill.

Robots have the ability to scan for opponents, fire a cannon, move,
and determine current position and status.

C++Robots is conceptually based on CROBOTS written for the IBM PC by Tom
Pointdexter.
