<p>New thread: Performance Enhancing Bug</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>I started working on a mini-sized [[GF]] gun which I plan to have both an anti-[[RM]] and anti-[[WS]] component. First, I used [[Raiko]]'s gun as a base, and then I added [[Bin Smoothing]] from [[Vyper]]. The problem was, I forgot to change the array type from &lt;code&gt;int&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;double&lt;/code&gt;, so the bins couldn't hold decimal values and got rounded down. One would think that this would have a harmful effect, but it actually had a ''significantly'' positive effect on my robot's score against surfers. I thought that maybe the smoothing was too heavy, so I tried lower smooth factors, and I even tried getting rid of the smoothing altogether, but I still couldn't replicate the score increase.<br /> <br /> Any ideas why this happened? Could it be something about the decay rate instead of the smoothing? Has anyone else ever noticed this?</div>
