TWCore is an open source bot core written in Java, widely used in Trench Wars (TW) and Redstar.
Due to the wide and eclectic nature of programmer contributions, there has not been even a semi-official public release of TWCore for almost a year. The last truly official release is considered so outdated as to be now almost archaic. However, development still continues on a day-to-day basis. The most recent "working" version, by far the most complete and stable, can be checked out using SVN (Subversion).
