Add in really quick and dirty random movement

Regarding the todo item "Add in really quick and dirty random movement"

It helped me a lot to use a random movement from an open source micro bot when I was developing targeting.

For de Broglie, I chose to use the movement from Aristocles, which had two nice benefits for testing.

  • Aristocles has a nice micro implementation of GF targeting. If you climb above Aristocles in the Rumble, you can know that your gun is coming along quite nicely because your movement is identical.
  • Do a comparison of rumble stats between your bot and Aristocles to see if your gun has any striking strengths/weaknesses against certain bots.

Using that code was a nice stepping stone while I was working on targeting. I could forget about movement issues while still having a fully functioning bot as a test bed.

Good luck!

    I'm curious, why did you use Aristocles for testing purposes and not Raiko? Raiko has one of the best simple Random Movements in the 'Rumble.

    Also, Raiko's GFT gun is much stronger than Aristocles', so it would be a better test of your gun's strength.
