Robot wars game?

Robot Wars game for late 80s, early 90s Macintosh? But not RoboWar or RobotWar.
I'm looking for a game on the Macintosh in the late 80s or early 90s that involved programmable robots. You would enter a brief program for the robot to follow (move forward X spaces, turn gun Y degrees, shoot Z shots), and then you would execute the commands and see how you did against the other player (e.g. he moved forward, but oh, he moved into your line of fire and got killed).
This game had basic 2D graphics and animation, like robots jumping and turrets swiveling. The arena was a maze-like area with walls and corners to hide in, displayed in an isometric fake 3D view.
The thing is, this game was not RoboWar or RobotWar. It was like those game's simpler, easier to understand cousin. You didn't need to program BASIC to control your robot -- you just had a list of simple commands you could string together.
Help?
