Funny Information

At first I try to create movement that move directly to enemy and orbit it when it come in 100px closer. That's version 0.2 when I stick WeekendObsession gun into it and I entered it to RoboRumble. Soon, I've found out that simple head-on targeting can hit at most of the time since it move directly toward enemy! and it take the lowest rank! Now, I re-design the movement system and start orbit an enemy immediately, plus some random direction swap and change it's direction when enemy fire. Now, in my test, it can beat almost top nano-bots but still get 13th place because it's movement can't trick GF bot. And that the version 1.0. (I skipped to 1.0 because it's a really big changed.)

When I first enter RoboRumble, it has the highest APS score (when have only 10 battles). That is the time when Darkcanuck turn off bots-removing from his server so there are nat.nano.Ocnirp 1.0 at top position and nat.nano.Ocnirp 0.2 at bottom of table!
