Thanks go to the following people (the list is in no way complete and will probably never be so) :

  • Voidious -- Wave Surfing tutorial, and various ides from Diamond.
  • Rednaxela -- Precise intersection and forcing me to improve my kD-tree ;).


Additional Information

Can I use your code?
Not at the moment.
What robots is it based on?
  • The code is, for the most part, my own, but I did get ideas from other robots. See the credits for details.
What's next for your robot?
tweak, try various ideas, tweak, release, ...
for the immediate future:
  • surf two waves
  • tweak gun
  • rewrite movement to support several classification schemes

I also plan to try bullet shielding, LtL targeting and movement (also secret), and Neural networks. Possibly the "C principle" (apply similarities between robocode and to cryptography), but that is seeming less and less likely.
