  • 0.01e9 – 2018-06-16
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.46% (12th), PL: 389-13 (15th), Survival: 39.35%
    • rework energy management
  • 0.01e8 – 2018-06-14
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.44% (12th), PL: 388-14 (15th), Survival: 36.74%
    • more accurate power selection


  • 0.01e4 – 2018-06-14
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.51% (12th), PL: 388-14 (14th), Survival: 35.63%
    • Iterative power selection.
    • Remarkable survival improvement.
  • 0.01e2 – 2018-06-14
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.35% (12th), PL: 388-14 (14th), Survival: 35.6%
    • Bullet power selection takes who I can hit into account. No longer power 3 bullet on dying bot!
    • Inaccurate aim power due to bugs.


  • 0.01e – 2017-11-06
    • 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...
  • 0.01d1 – 2017-11-05
    • 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)
  • 0.01d – 2017-11-02
    • 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
  • 0.01b – 2017-10-29
    • Rewrite ScalarBot’s framework from scratch, so that every single object is either static or pooled. No object creation/deletion between ticks or even rounds!
    • Write a melee radar
    • Migrate ScalarBot’s 1v1 radar into melee radar
