Targeting Challenge RM

2009-05-14T21:53:02Z

Timfoden: migrated from old wiki with minor edits.

This challenge was established to see how well we can do against the RandomMovement bots from [[Targeting Challenge (original)]], [[Targeting Challenge 2K6]] and [[Targeting Challenge 2K7]].

[[Targeting Challenge RM/Results|Results]] are over 35 rounds, equivalent to the "fast learning" version of the various TCs. Rules are the same as they are for the TCs.

'''Easy'''
#[[Aspid]]Movement

Targeting Challenge 2K6

2009-05-14T21:27:03Z

Timfoden: Corrected english for rule 3

The second targeting challenge, which was established in 2006 in an attempt to achieve better preformance, by testing against certain reference bots.

== '''Rules''' ==
#The Challenger must remain stationary all the time
#The Challenger is only allowed to feed the fire() method(s) the constant 3.
#*This often results in at least one bullet per round fired with energy lower than 3 though.
#*Which means no energy management whatsoever
#There are 10 Reference Bots, none of which fire, few of which do any ramming
#The Challenger meet each reference bot in battle over 500 rounds (100 rounds for the short TC version)
#The Challenger's score against each reference bot is calculated like "challenger_bullet_damage / rounds"
#*Average the scores against each reference bot to get the total score

== '''Reference Bots''' ==
WaveSurfers:
#[[CassiusClay]] 1.9.9.96 - expert WaveSurfer
#[[Cyanide]] 1.80.b - expert WaveSurfer
#[[Tigger]] 0.0.23 - good WaveSurfer, unique implementation
#[[Chalk]] 1.2 - "fledgling" WaveSurfer
Non-surfers:
#[[Cigaret]] 1.31 - random orbital movement
#[[GrubbmGrb]] 1.1.3 - MultiMode with Stop 'n' Go, Oscillation
#[[RandomMovementBot]] - fluid, random movement
#[[Butterfly]] 2.0 - MultiMode; non-firing version of Ugluk
#[[FloodMini]] 1.4 - Kawigi's SandboxFlattener movement
#[[DuelistMicro]] 1.22 - simple GoTo? movement, quite good against simple aimers

Targeting Challenge 2K7

2009-05-14T21:24:39Z

Timfoden: Corrected initial description. Corrected english for rule 3. Added Challenges nav pane.

The third targeting challenge, which was established in 2007 in an attempt to achieve better preformance, by testing against certain reference bots.

== '''Rules''' ==
#The Challenger must remain stationary all the time.
#The Challenger is only allowed to feed the fire() method(s) the constant 3.
#*This often results in at least one bullet per round fired with energy lower than 3 though.

#The Challenger meets each reference bot in battle over 500 rounds.
#The Challenger's score against each reference bot is calculated like "challenger_bullet_damage / rounds".
#*Average the scores against each reference bot to get the total score.

=== Fast Learning ===
Same rules as above, except:
#The Challenger must not save any data between battles.
#The Challenger meets each reference bot over 15 seasons of 35 rounds each.

== '''Reference Bots''' ==
5 WaveSurfers:
# [[Shadow]] 3.66d - expert WaveSurfer, DynamicClustering based stats
# [[CassiusClay]] 2pi.08 - expert WaveSurfer
# [[WeeksOnEnd]] 1.10 - MiniBot WaveSurfer, still ''very'' strong against top guns
# [[WaveSerpent]] 1.221 - high level WaveSurfer with unique stats system; intermediate level against top guns
# [[RaikoMX]] 0.32 - classic WaveSurfer; intermediate level against good guns

5 non-surfers:
# [[Fortune]] 1.0 - MultiMode of several best in class RandomMovement implementations
# [[DuelistMicro]] 2.0 - <nowiki>GoTo</nowiki> style RandomMovement (similar in style to [[Cigaret]])
# [[GrubbmGrb]] 1.2.4 - MultiMode with Stop 'n' Go, Oscillation

Talk:RoboRumble/Participants

2009-05-14T21:12:52Z

Timfoden: Fixed reference to renamed TC 2K6

Why it still have "No chatting on this page. Use the /ParticipantsChat page for that."? We can have ''this'' discussion page for chat. » [[User:Nat|Nat]] | [[User_talk:Nat|Talk]] » 05:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

== Entering rumble via infobox ==

You know, it would be kinda cool if people could enter their robots in the rumble via [[Template:Infobox Robot]]. Just add the appropriate data to the box and an argument that says, effectively, "Yes, enter my bot in the rumble," and boom, it gets picked up. [[User:RobertWalker|RobertWalker]] 19:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

: Thats sorta possible, if say, we added a category to the template then had it use that category and trace the link to the bots page and look for its jar. However thats a lot of extra skipping around, and its a realy strain on server resources to have to 'check' for these things. --[[User:Chase-san|Chase-san]] 20:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

: A couple issues with that, though not show-stopping issues: one, we have bots in the rumble with no bot pages. (Vanessa, for instance.) Two, you don't always have your latest version in the rumble, or you have to post a temporary RRGC version or something like that. With all the little caveats, the Participants page might still be the most elegant solution. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 20:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there a reason this list isn't being used for the rumble yet? Also, is there an updated zip of the rumble bots around? (Or could someone make it? :-D? I'd like to start running battles again. -- [[User:Alcatraz|Alcatraz]] 12:52, 8 December 2008 (EST)

: robowiki.net is running again, but maybe is time to activate this participant list? --[[User:Lestofante|lestofante]] 13:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

: Agree. Many down of the old wiki can make newbie like me try many new idea on rumble! --[[User:Nat|Nat]] 11:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Anyone still interesting with this issue? This can accomplish via a bot. If we have property name rumbleLocation in infobox, and the template automatically put any robot with that parameter into some category, I can make my soon-created bot handler that, say once per hour? For special RRGC/WSGC or a bot without page, there can still use another participant list and it will be merged to another page when the bot run. » [[User:Nat|Nat]] | [[User_talk:Nat|Talk]] » 09:35, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

: Personally anyway, it seems that trying to make entry via infobox just overcomplicates things really. I'd much perfer there just be one simple way to do it: Add it to the participants page by hand. --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 14:33, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

: I agree. The only change that I'd like to see (eventually) is to have the server maintain the participants list and bot storage. But I'm not ready to commit to programming that yet. --[[User:Darkcanuck|Darkcanuck]] 17:25, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

----

Hey man, you don't need to remove Tigger, one of us would gladly host it. Darkcanuck has posted most rumble bots to his server already, so you can make it point here if you want: [http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/robots/stefw.Tigger_0.0.23.jar http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/robots/stefw.Tigger_0.0.23.jar]. Of course it's your call, but it seems a shame to remove such an old-school bot. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 14:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

* I wouldn't just call it an old-school bot, but also a very interesting one that gives a fair number of surfers some trouble if I remember right.. :) --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 14:54, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

** Because its unique and only Tile Coding? » [[User:Nat|Nat]] | [[User_talk:Nat|Talk]] » 15:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

::* Well, it trounces Komarious, gives PulsarMax, Lukious, Engineer, and WinterMute a rather hard time... not sure if that's because of it's unique Tile Coding things, but it might well be --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 15:35, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

:::* It could be its unique stats system. Since it's a reference bot for the TC2K6, the [[Targeting Challenge 2K6/Results]] give us at least some insight into its movement. Clearly, some top bots can really zero in on Tigger, but a lot of still very strong guns have some trouble with it. And the low scores against [[Linear Targeting]] and [[Circular Targeting]] seem odd, but might mean that he always enables a flattener, or just has some anomaly or bug that has a similar effect. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 15:58, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

::::* Well, it's reference scores against linear/circular targeting don't look that weird to me. I mean, the only reference bots that do better against the simple targeting are either surfers or the tremendously well-tuned multi-mode known as GrubbmGrb --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 16:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

:::::* Tigger is a surfer, though. :-P And his score against HoT is respectable. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 17:17, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Timfoden: Corrected english for rule 3

Welcome to the Targeting Challenge! This is first targeting challenge, which was established in 2003 in an attempt to achieve better performance, by testing against certain reference bots in a controlled environment.
{{Navbox small
| title = The Original Targeting Challenge
| parent = Targeting Challenge (original)
| page1 = Results
| page2 = Results/Short
| title2 = Result for short version
| page3 = Results/Fast Learning
| title3 = Result for fast learning version
}}
== Rules ==
# The challenger must remain stationary all the time .
# The challenger is only allowed to feed the fire() method(s) the constant 3.
#* This often results in at least one bullet per round fired with energy lower than 3 though.
#* Which means no energy management whatsoever.
# There are 10 reference bots, none of which fire, few of which do any ramming.
# The challenger meet each reference bot in battle over 500 rounds (100 rounds for the short TC version)
# The challenger's score against each reference bot is calculated like "challenger_bullet_damage / rounds"
#* Average the scores against each reference bot to get the total score

== Reference Bots ==
# [[SandboxDT]] 1.91
# [[Aspid]]Movement
# [[TheArtOfWar]] 1.2 TC

==== What's special about it? ====

Nothing much.

==== How competitive is it? ====

Its pretty competitive. Version 26c got into [[The 2000 Club]] on the old ratings system. On the current rating system version 29 has a 1892 rating ([[DrussGT]] 1.3.3 - 125 elo)

Current roborumble rating: Drifter 29 -- #30, 1892 elo (2061 Glicko-2).

For ratings for older versions, and for results in various challenges, see the [[/Results]] page.

==== How does it move? ====

Before version 20, Drifter was a GoTo type of bot, with Shrapnel Surfing against HOT, Linear, Circular and [[Guess Factor]] predicted bullets.

Version 20 changed this to remove the Shrapnel, and to directly "surf" the [[Guess Factor]] data. It makes up guess factor data for the HOT, Linear and Circular predicted bullets, and basically does a simple form of CrowdTargetting to merge it's buffers into one.

The arena area is divided up with a 25 pixel grid. The grid points are initialised by setting some of the points to 1. These points are: the points closest to the centre of each opponent, and the points halfway between each opponent. A flood fill algorithm is then used to set all adjacent points to 2. This is then repeated with 3, and so on, until the whole grid is filled. Thus this gives an idea of where on the grid is close to and where is far from all dangerous places to be (higher numbers are better.)

After the fill algorithm has completed, points near opponents are set to -999999, so as to avoid hitting them.

It then does a search for the path with the highest value.

It searches only 37 points from an (-8..8, -8..8) square. The point are (successive diamond shapes where manhattan distance = {0, 4, 8, 12}, and only even points (-8, -6, -4, -2, 0, etc.)

Fot each point to be searched, Drifter models how the robot would move to get to this point, and adds up the grid scores for each tick. The score for each tick also includes a negative bonus for points intersecting parts of a wave.

==== How does it fire? ====

A [[Dynamic Clustering]] [[Guess Factor]] gun (with 31 sectors). The available angle ahead and behind is calculated using a simple lateral acceleration model to predict reality a little better than using the simple asin(8 / bulletSpeed).

Version Segmentation
1..3 relative heading (8 segs) distance (4 segs)
4 lateral velociy (5 segs) distance (4 segs)
5 abs lateral velocity (3 segs) distance (6 segs)
6..8 abs lateral velocity (3 segs) distance (6 segs) lateral acceleration (3 segs)
11..13 abs lateral velocity (3 segs) distance (5 segs) lateral acceleration (3 segs)
14..17 abs lateral velocity (3 segs) distance (5 segs) lateral acceleration (3 segs) distance ahead

Firepower:
dist <= 100 -> 3
dist > 100 -> 2.5
max firepower = getEnergy() / 20

==== How does it dodge bullets? ====

See How does it Move above.

==== How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy? ====

No difference at this time.

==== How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee? ====

Fires at closest opponent bot.

==== What does it save between rounds and matches? ====

GuessFactor values are saved between rounds.

Nothing is saved between matches.

==== Where did you get the name? ====

No reason. Just made it up.

==== Can I use your code? ====

Nope. It's not available right now, as it's too embarrassing to put on public display! :)

==== What's next for your robot? ====

Improvements to anything that can be improved. :)

==== Does it have any [[White Whale]]s? ====

Loads... For example (Drifter 13):

Krabb.sliNk.Garm 0.9rb -22.7
abc.Tron 2.02 -25.5
areb.Union 1.06 -20.3
chase.na.Seraphim 0.052c -34.2 !!
cx.micro.Smoke_0.96 -25.5
intruder.PrairieWolf 2.61 -29.7 !!
voidious.mini.Komarious 1.78b -20.7
mladjo.Grrrrr 0.9 -19.2

==== What other robot(s) is it based on? ====

None. However, I've extensively read the wiki, so lots of other people's public ideas have been used (but no code at all).
