Yes, I'm still alive, and I do want to get back into coding Java tanks. Between having a baby, moving into a new house, and late nights at work, it's been kinda hectic, but things should be settling down soon and making some improvements to RabidWombat. I discovered a problem in the aiming code; apparently where I thought I was shooting wasn't actually where I was shooting! So my first task will be to fix that.

So after not touching Robocode for a while, I'm diving back in, authoring a rewrite of [[RabidWombat]]. I'm also creating a tool called [[RoboTweaker]] which allows you to test out tweaks to values controlling your robot's behavior.

Background

I'm (current year - 1977) years old and work as a software developer in Salt Lake City, Utah. Started robocoding in 2007 after a co-worker suggested having a Robocode tournament at work after a long, painful software release cycle. Apparently, I was more interested than the rest of the company; the bot I built (and am still working on in my copious spare time) seems to have scared everyone else off.

So after not touching Robocode for a while, I'm diving back in, authoring a rewrite of RabidWombat. I'm also creating a tool called RoboTweaker which allows you to test out tweaks to values controlling your robot's behavior.
