- Planned — 0.011
Migrate ScalarBot’s 1v1 movement & gun- Migrate ScalarBot’s 1v1 gun.
- Rewrite a 1v1 movement that’s first optimized for simple guns, then slow learning guns. And find out a way to dodge pattern matchers well.
- After that, add a tick flattener to help dodging the top guns, and a firing wave flattener agaisnt AS guns. (Only after I can dodge anything else very well can I start working on this and set a better threshold).
- Planned — 0.01f
- kNN melee gun
- Planned — 0.01e2
- Keep track of everyone’s firing for literal melee wave surfing
- Working — 0.01e1
- Try some redesigned 1v1 movement inspired by its (Neuromancer style “brute force”) melee surfing. It should give PMs a hard time since more movement options are examined (which creates complex paths) and more prediction power is involved (which allows some DrussGT style random decelerating).
- End up some goto movement similar to Carbon, but without second wave surfing or object creation in loops.

- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.62% (11th), PL: 389-12 (13th), Survival: 36.51%
- Rewrite melee movement, implement Neuromancer style “brute force” true melee surfing (only surfing preloaded HOT now).
- Merge ScaledBot movement graphics & adapt it to show predicted paths like Neuromancer does, pretty cool now!
- Well it takes me an hour to write, two nights to tune & fix bugs...

- Thanks Skilgannon for mentioning paper "Fast Polynomial Approximations to Sine and Cosine" in his code ;) I'll try some approximated function as the replacement of StrictMath.
- Use approximations from "Fast Polynomial Approximations to Sine and Cosine" for sin & cos, 3~5x faster!
- Use floor for faster normalAbsoluteAngle & normalRelativeAngle, 5.4x faster!
- Use Chebyshev Approximations (http://metamerist.com/cheby/example38.htm) for atan & atan2, 13.86x faster! (my version uses degree 5 while Skilgannon uses degree 4, not sure the speed difference though)

- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 63.94% (25th), PL: 362-39 (39th), Survival: 26.62%
- Fixed a lot of bugs in PIF gun ;)
- Implemented melee wave tracking (no gun heat waves yet), and no reaction to that information yet.
- 0.01c – 2017-10-31
- Simple melee movement that dodges a lot of HOT bullets without surfing ;)
- Simple PIF gun that selects scans randomly
