==== Description ====

After getting sick of Waylander's poor PL score, I decided to write a [[Guess Factor]] gun. It's been sitting around gathering dust for a while now, and didn't take much work to improve after my recent [[Dynamic Clustering]] experience.

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

Waylander's movement, which I attribute to its success

==== Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it? ====

[http://minifly.rchomepage.com/robocode/ Download Directory]

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

0.1.1 was second, 0.1.2 has a major bug I think....

==== How does it [[Movement|move]]? ====

[[Stop And Go]], which switches to [[Random Movement]] if it loses in the first 3 rounds.

==== How does it fire? ====
A simple GF gun, with segments roughly based on [[Aristocles]]

==== How does it [[DodgingBullets|dodge bullets]]? ====
It does [[Stop And Go]] to fool [[Head On Targeting]], [[Linear Targeting]] and [[Circular Targeting]]. If it loses in the first 3 rounds it switches to [[Random Movement]], in an attempt to fool all the GF bots and pattern matchers out there.

==== What does it save between rounds and matches? ====
Between rounds it saves the VCS array and whether to use StopAndGo, between matches nothing, due to codesize restaints.

==== Where did you get the name? ====
According to David Gemmel, Connavar was the king of the Rigante. He was also known as Demonblade because of his skill with the sword.

==== Can I use your code? ====
Under the following terms:
*Your bot MUST be OpenSource.
*You give credit in your code, and in any documentation of your bot.
*Pleeaase don't just take my bot, tweak it and release it under another name. Rather tell me about the changes, and I'll give you credit. =)

==== What's next for your robot? ====
Variable firepower, using last direction for waves if velocity is 0

==== Does it have any [[WhiteWhale]]s? ====
[[WeekendObsession]] - it doesn't seem to trip the flattener for some reason
==== What other robot(s) is it based on? ====
[[Waylander]] - oh yeah, the gun was originally based off of [[Falcon]]
