Background Information
- What's special about it?
- What makes your bot unique?
- How competitive is it?
- How good is your bot in different circumstances and against different competitors? How does it rank in competitions like the RoboRumble?
Strategy
- How does it move?
- Movement strategy – Wave Surfing, Random Movement, etc.
- How does it fire?
- Targeting strategy – GuessFactor Targeting, Pattern Matching, etc.
- How does it dodge bullets?
- Pretty much the same as the movement section.
- How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
- Melee is a battle with many bots; one-on-one is a battle with only two bots.
- How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?
- Some bots target the first enemy they see; other bots attack the closest enemy; still others choose the target with the greatest energy. If your bot doesn't support melee, just omit this section.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
- What does the bot store in static global variables (between rounds) and in files (between matches)?
