With all the 0x10C stuff that has been produced lately, I remembered I saw a game where you have to program AI to battle your opponents, but I couldn't remember the name.

Now I may have something to do :)

Not quite, it ran on DOS and was coded in an assembly-like language. Chances are it actually was robocom.
