| |
| − | ; What's special about it?
| |
| − | : It tries to predict and avoid enemy fire, making it nearly impossible to hit with [[Head-On Targeting|HOT]], and difficult to hit with other Simple Targeting Strategies
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; How competitive is it?
| |
| − | : Slightly. It isn't as good as I had hoped, but it does pretty well. It is currently ranked 374 in [[RoboRumble]]. My tests of 1.0.1 so far have shown it to be much better than 1.0, even with just the few small changes it has in it.

| − | == Strategy ==

| − |
| |
| − | ; How does it [[Movement|move]]?
| |
| − | : [[Minimum Risk Movement]]. It picks random points on the field and rates them on:
| |
| − | {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | * Distance from other bots
| |
| − | * Difference in heading to spot from enemy's heading (closer to 90 degree offset is better)
| |
| − | * Distance from predicted bullet locations
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; How does it fire?
| |
| − | : A [[Virtual Guns]] array with a:
| |
| − | {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | * Simple Linear Gun
| |
| − | * Simple Circular Gun
| |

| − | * Mean Linear Gun
| |
| − | * Guess Factor Gun
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; How does it [[Dodging Bullets|dodge bullets]]?
| |
| − | : Every time it detects a drop in enemy health less than 3.0, it guesses where the enemy shot. Then it tries to avoid those bullets.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; How does the [[melee]] strategy differ from [[One-on-one]] strategy?
| |
| − | : It locks the radar in one-on-one. It just spins it in melee.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; How does it select a target to attack/avoid in [[melee]]?
| |
| − | : Although it has a few other parameters, basically, it targets the closest bot.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; What does it save between rounds and matches?
| |
| − | : Virtual Gun stats, Guess Factor stats
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Additional Information ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; Where did you get the name?
| |
| − | : It was kind of random. I guess I just noticed that there was only one bot starting with an I on the wiki, and I had made the bot partly blue, so I chose Ice. I did change the colors a little after deciding, though to make it look more like ice. Before, it was darker blue.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; Can I use your code?
| |
| − | : Not yet. You probably wouldn't be able to make much sense of it, right now. I have no idea how ''I'' can even make sense of it still.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; What's next for your robot?
| |
| − | : Nothing really planned yet, but I do hope to:
| |
| − | {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | * Decrease codesize, it's on the huge side right now.
| |
| − | * Add some energy conservation
| |
| − | * Clean up the code so I can release it

| |
| − | ; Does it have any [[White Whale]]s?
| |
| − | : Nope
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; What other robot(s) is it based on?
| |
| − | : While it isn't based on another robot, I did learn a lot from this wiki. It was especially helpful for the Guess Factor targeting.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Versions==
| |
| − | ; 1.0
| |
| − | : First release. It has lots of minor bugs, but I'm working on them. If I hadn't felt like I needed to actually get a release out, it probably would never have been released.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; 1.0.1
| |
| − | : I really didn't do much to it, but the few changes I made had a huge impact. Probably biggest of the issues I fixed was I fixed all the skipped turns from 1.0. I don't know how I didn't catch it, but my point evaluation was causing some major issues there. I also added some variation in the velocity with a sin*cos function. It has little effect against the better targeters, but bots with simple targeting have a lot of trouble hitting it now. Managed to decrease codesize by over 1000.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ; 1.0.2
| |
| − | : Minor changes everywhere. Codesize is back up, ~500 higher than last release. Hopefully, this version actually improves, unlike the last one.
