0.1.6: The spring-cleaning release! codesize: 698 (yes, you read that correctly)

• Removed lots of little things that I believe don't add much to the score.

0.1.5: codesize: 748 Score: 81.08

• Always shoots 1/16th of a pixel just to one side (no more random)
• No longer matches across rounds (required black magic and bad practices to get the shrinking to work!)
• Reduced the granularity on the lateral-velocity to 2 pixels-per-tick instead of 1 to follow what has been most successful with GF/VCS guns

0.1.4: codesize: 740 Score: 81.19 (drift downwards, scored approx. same as 0.1.3 at release)

• Random factor is now +- 1/16th of a pixel

0.1.3: codesize: 733 Score: 81.33 APS (took common pairings APS with Thorn)

• Made the random factor exactly +-1 pixel instead of a random value somewhere between -4 and +4 pixels

0.1.1CT: codesize: 733 score: 80.9 APS

• Matches across rounds again for more codesize
• CT: Catch This! Introduces a random factor in aim to prevent enemy from shooting down bullets

0.1.2: codesize: 749 score: pulled

• Somehow managed to squeeze the codesize down even further
• Shoots 3 power bullets if the last tick revealed a match over 30 ticks long
  • There was a bad bug somewhere...

0.1.1: codesize: 749 score: 2008

• Switched to bit-shifting to store both adv-vel and lat-vel in one char, instead of a different char for each. Prevents 'half-off' matches that don't get rebuilt properly.
• Doesn't match or rebuild across rounds
• Utilized the Arrays.sort and Arrays.binarySearch to reduce my codesize - so now depends on Java 1.5+ (as does Robocode, so it shouldn't be a problem)

0.1: codesize: 742 score: 2006 after 1576 First release!
