BeepBoop seems to be the new king

Btw, BeepBoop seems to be losing APS due to inconsistency in RoboRumble client (e.g. skipped turns).

BeepBoop runs fine on my computer, with the same result as (previous) RoboRumble and without skipped turns. Could you share some information about your environment, e.g. clients running in parallel, dedicated (not running any other task) or not. This may heavily affect reproducibility of RoboRumble.

I presume you are asking me. Well, I have several old computers pushing 10+ years, with which I use to run many roborumble battles for many years. All of them are doing other useful cron jobs so performance is not guaranteed. Also since the modern cpu throtle whenever they feel so, it might bring more jitter.

An interesting observation, I made all rumble clients by copying the robocode folder. So they all have identical `robocode.properties` file with the following content 

#Robocode Properties
#Tue May 06 09:49:19 EDT 2014
robocode.cpu.constant=7434452
robocode.version.lastrun=1.9.2.0

The striking part is that the cpu constant is the same on all computers. Also note that version is misreported.

So this might be the problem, since some machines are slower than my master computer. But I doubt that they factor of 2 slower.

Happy to upload a new version! Do you know if I can just change the version number in RoboRumble/Participants or do I have to upload a new jar? I'm away from the computer I normally develop BeepBoop on for a week.

I think you should recompile. The robot.properties has uuid and version field. I am not sure that they are checked, but it is better to avoid rumble confusion.

Beaming (talk)‎02:36, 17 January 2023

They are verified by the rumble to prevent typos. So at least repackaging with an updated robot.properties is needed.

I can also release an identical version of ScalarR to verify the results.
