Numbat 1.8 Size: mega (in progress)

Numbat 1.7 Size: mega (success)

found a major gun bug, which has lead to false pattern guessing
new combat setup, minor tweak to start pattern length collection
more aggressive targeting on predictable pattern mover if i'm not closest to anyone
minor bug fixing and improved precision
debug properties again included
gun graphics again included
{subst:rumblestats:meleerumble|wompi.Numbat 1.7}}

Numbat 1.6 Size: mega (fail)

again code base changed
mainly rollback to the start - 30 length key, not dynamic anymore, zero pattern, basic targeting
lots of minor fixes
removed debug properties (brought me to much 'hidden' skipped turns)
removed graphics (see debug properties)
removed average velocity for the gun
Version info: it will take a while to release a new version - the summer makes me sluggish and completely stupid
MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 65.69% (11th), PL: 335-10 (10th), Survival: 87.75%

Numbat 1.5 Size: mega (fail)

Numbat 1.4 Size: mega (success)

improved radar start search
debug properties enabled (key 'd' , debug property tab)
major improvement to the gun memory, dynamic match keys, runs now with 100k patterns per melee battle and same hit rate and gives room for 2 more ST guns for different states
complete change of the fire power selection, runs now by the 'magical number' of Paul Evans
new target change system, if enough bullet power is in the 'air' to kill the target the targeting switch to another target to prevent wasting energy, switch back if first target survived (needs more precision to prevent trashing)
Version info: i start to like this bot
RoboRumble ‒ APS: 64.96% (189th), PL: 673-243 (231st), Survival: 73.34%

Numbat 1.3 Size: 6000+ (success)

lots of minor bugs fixed
radar got a work fix for his bug
movement improved, better ram bot detection and response, agility for certain situations increased, still not 1v1 ready
graphic enabled (key 'd')
gun collects now patterns on the fly for all scanned bots, improved start pattern use (will be dynamic in next version - major memory gain)
MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 65.95% (11th), PL: 331-8 (8th), Survival: 88.65%
RoboRumble ‒ APS: 64.81% (187th), PL: 670-241 (218th), Survival: 73.08%

Numbat 1.2 Size: 5000+ (success)

changed codebase to mega bot - no more holding back by code size and room for new ideas (well the truth is, i simply got lost without a good code structure)
targeting holds longer on bots with yummy bullet bonus
gun: the average start pattern decides now about the bullet power (full power on simple pattern bots)
graphical debugging (included but not enabled in this version)
little radar fix (still a major bug - ends with me playing sitting duck, hopefully fixed in next version)
gun, radar and movement now independent of onScan.. and works within run() - still room for interpolations
movement, force changes if opponent long time not seen (makes the movement a little more fluid)
MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 64.86% (14th), PL: 316-22 (23rd), Survival: 84.58%
RoboRumble ‒ APS: 61.42% (259th), PL: 604-308 (282nd), Survival: 65.74%

Numbat 1.1 Size: 1824 (success)

code cleaning
gun handles now wall hits (works very well against sample bots)
gun data structure improved by removing zero patterns (400k more pattern to save per battle)
pattern length now 30 to collect more valuable pattern instead of rare long term pattern
little radar adjustment (locks now longer to collect the pattern)
movement randomized (perpendicular rate)
MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 64.04% (24th), PL: 309-30 (30th), Survival: 82.83%

Numbat 1.0 Size: 1864 (success)
