Talk:Nene

Nene is Turkish for Grandmother, at least in the book I'm reading. I'm surprised to see it was the name of a happy, hyper girl. Blubex 15:29, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

The funny thing about names, is that they can come from any number of sources, and mean any number of things. For example Nene was also the name of the most beautiful wife of one of Japans great generals, that is to say Hideyoshi. But still isn't where I got the name. Wikipedia. Names are completely context based. — Chase-san 17:18, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Haha, Interesting. I'm very unoriginal with my own robot names. Squidman, Tentaclemelee, Octopi, etc.. ( I have a small obsession with tentacled creatures.. ) Blubex 00:52, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

All these and possibly future versions are all part of a large refactor, while I tried to keep the core working bits the same there will likely be issues that need to be sorted out. In case you're wondering why they are bobbing up and down the rankings as they area. Likely later versions will also be possible even more refactoring. — Chase-san 06:12, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Sad to see me lose 4 ranks, but I guess it has been 3 years since I updated Nene. Maybe I should start work on a new robot...

Do it. >:)

Kind of a one trick pony these days, but let's see if it still works.

Down to #10, well that's disappointing. I am going to be losing my top 10 spot soon it seems.

Yep, 1.5 year ago I updated GresSuffurd resulting in a 0.5 APS gain, and lost 2 places due to young, smart and active Robocodes. That is the price you have to pay when you're not young and smart . . .

Why does Nene's gun have Guaranteed Hit Targeting when Mint's gun doesn't? Can it increase performance in Mint?

I don't entirely recall, but I think I removed it because it was buggy and didn't work very well. If I never removed it from Nene, it might be able to improve Nene's score by removing it.

But the main difference between Mint and Nene right now is Bullet Shadows and a lot of corner case work that Nene has. Mint was designed to eventually replace Nene, which is why I can backport changes from Mint into Nene.

Nene just happens to be massively complex, where as Mint is highly simplified.

You didn't remove it from Nene there's GuaranteedHitTargeting.class in Nene 1.0.5

Reading over Nene's movement code for refactoring and gun code (in general) I have found a number of minor bugs.

First, it seems the Heat Wave system is broken in it and never could have worked. Since it never sets the heat waves escape angle. Second, it seems a weight in the gun never worked correctly. Since the timeSinceVelocityChange is always 1 (or 0 on change).

There are probably more, but these are the ones I have found so far.
