Thanks go to the following people (the list is in no way complete and will probably never be so) :

  • Voidious -- Wave Surfing tutorial, and various ides from Diamond.

Additional Information

Can I use your code?
Not at the moment.
What robots is it based on?
  • The code is, for the most part, my own, but I did get ideas from other robots. See the credits for details.
What's next for your robot?
tweak, try various ideas, tweak, release, ...
for the immediate future:
  • optimize
  • surf two waves
  • tweak gun

I also plan to try LtL targeting and movement (secret), and Neural networks.
