Talk:BeepBoop/Version History

Never imagined that a bot can achieve that high, and still have great improvements.

Are you going to briefly explain the changes in 2.0? ;)

Getting at least 70% against everyone . . . And more than 80% survival, did you get an extra batterypack or so ?

I think it's more like adding five 0.1-APS improvements rather than one big change. I added some details to BeepBoop/Version History and BeepBoop/Understanding BeepBoop‎‎!

That is very solid. Btw how can you sure that each changes grant you positive APS since it’s very small, being hard to evaluate.

I do test changes against a big subset of the roborumble bots (with many seasons to make sure results are significant)

Thanks, that sounds practical. I’m always doing a few seasons on the full population to test out small changes, which takes a few hours on newest hardware. However, it is still hard to make 0.1 APS changes significant.

Yeah, you need to run a lot of seasons, but of course that's slow. I think the right way to develop a strong bot would be to operate like the stockfish chess engine where every change is evaluated for improving performance, but I mostly just develop on my laptop so I don't have enough compute to do that.

Congratulations! Although the ranking is not yet stable, the final result should be around APS 94~95! After so many years, and within a few months, the bar of 1v1 king raised from 92 to nearly 95!

Unbelievable, almost 3% above DrussGT! Congratulations!

Thank you! Now I am wondering if 95% is achievable...

Thanks! Looks like ScalarR is catching up fast :)

Looks like if there were two best bots, APS raises very fast ;) Looking forward to seeing BeepBoop reaching 95 APS!

Ouch, after returning from 3 weeks of holiday, I find the topbots making jumps like it was 2004 . . . An awesome achievement of both of you to carve such a gap between you and the already incredible DrussGT.
