New page

== Background ==

[[MN|MN]] stands for Mauricio Noda. I´m a Java IT software developer/architect and robocoder since 2004.

I left robocoding a long time ago after seeing [[Visit_Count_Stats|bin-based]] [[Statistical_Targeting|statistical]] algorithms owning the rumble, which I never liked. Hard-coded [[Segmentation|segmentation]] felt too artificial. More recently, after seeing [[Dynamic_Clustering|dynamic clustering]] owning the rumble, which is a much cooler algorithm, and finally understanding what [[Wave_surfing|wave surfing]] is all about, it brought me back.

== Bots ==

* [[mn.Combat]] 1.x - The first bot I made a long time ago. [[Virtual_Guns|Virtual gun array]] of [[Category:Simple_Targeting_Strategies|simple targeters]] ([[Head-On_Targeting|head-on]], [[Linear_Targeting|linear]], [[Circular_Targeting|circular]], [[Random_Targeting|random]]) and [[Pattern_matching|pattern matching]]. [[Anti-Gravity_Movement|Anti-gravity movement]].
* mn.WarMachine - Failed attempt at a geometric [[Wall_Avoidance|wall avoidance]] and perpendicular movement (which I though was the same thing as [[Wave_surfing|wave surfing]] at the time).
* [[mn.Combat]] 2.x - Complete code rewrite, but kept the name. [[Dynamic_Clustering|Dynamic clustering]] everywhere I could think of. [[Anti-Gravity_Movement|Anti-gravity movement]] with [[Wall_Avoidance|wall avoidance]]/[[Precise_Prediction|precise prediction]].

== Goals ==
* Slowly improve [[mn.Combat]] so it goes as high as possible in all league rankings (except [[Twin_Duel|Twin Duel]]).
* Help improve the [[RoboRumble|RoboRumble]] infrastructure.
* Clog the participants list with weak sample bots.
* Complain about the [[Darkcanuck/RRServer/Ratings|APS rating system]] being too susceptible to king-making.
