Gladiabot

[Timfa2112]

Description

Adds the Gladiabot. It is a cardboard box with a proximity sensor and a shiv taped on.
It has only one purpose in life: Kill all other Gladiabots.

It will never attack anything other than its own kind; that is what it was built to do.

Many thanks to Discord user @theholeatthecenterofeverything, who helped me with critical parts of the C# code.

TODO

• Create an Entity based off of the Cleanbot
• Add combat behaviour
• Create a faction that can be hostile to itself
• Add a deviation value to attacks (defaults to 0) which the Gladiabots uses to make fights not sound so monotonous.
• Allow Gladiabots to equip hats (purely cosmetic)
• Add an insertable ID or banner which only works for Gladiabots. This can be any item, so long as only the Gladiabot can equip it, which adds a Faction so you can sort Gladiabots in teams.
• Allow Gladiabots to equip other weapons. Probably a pain to sprite so I can't imagine someone will want to do this.
