Great result with 1.3! I might have to dust off my Neuromancer code again ;-)

Any idea what caused the improvements? Were you skipping a lot of turns before?

Thanks, we'll see, Neuromancer is still ahead by a big margin :P

Yeah, the gun was slow and it usually skipped a few turns per round, but I didn't expect it to make such a big difference. I also added a dynamic energy management dependent on estimated hit probability.

Congratulations! It's melee score is really good.

I really like just hearing that that's even conceivable to you still. =) It actually crossed my mind pretty recently, but I don't think it's likely to happen for me any time soon.

I have all my code setup to work with a simple build script, so it is fairly easy to get it up again. Although I've gotten lazy with IDEs that do indexing, which I never used before, so maybe I should try to get that working first. Neuromancer needs a bit of cleanup, and its multi-wave surfing in non-melee situations is very... CassiusClay shall we say =). No branching, which is something I'd like to change, but somehow still not skip turns.

Just wanted to say congrats on a really amazing result! At the moment, you are in 4th, but really not far at all from 2nd place. Excited to see where it settles.

I agree, this is a very impressive result. My Melee chops are seriously lacking, so it's even more impressive to me.

Thank you guys! Yeah, I am very happy about the result. Hopefully it can be improved some more, since I still have a lot of tweaking ideas.

Congratulations! Looks like you have a record of the fastest arrival to the top. Looking forward to see the improved version of the bot.

Congratulations, good bot. But it lost against WhiteFang which is 160th in roborumble. Maybe you should check if there is an error.

Congrats from me too! It's been a while since there's been much activity at the top ranks.

Also, I'm quite partial to the Noun-verber style names ;-)
