• 0.024c.c – 2017-08-28
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.34% (22nd), PL: 1120-32 (31st), Survival: 90.98%
  • Based on 0.024c
  • REFACTOR EVERYTHING. Hope it don't break anything.
  • Add Acceleration & WallDistance (actually PreciseMea/OldSchoolMea) dimension in movement (in a separate tree to make sure not breaking existing tree).
• 0.024d (skipped) – 2017-08-27
  • Movement:
    • Use kernel density.
    • Remove most recent hit gf.
    • Try straight wall distance in surfing dimensions.
    • Try to decay GuessFactors with gaussian distribution.
  • Performance decreased a lot.
• 0.024c – 2017-08-26
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 83.06% (36th), PL: 1093-59 (54th), Survival: 89.84%
  • Add second-wave surfing.
  • Weight waves on bullet damage. Not yet tried weighting on distance or so.
  • Add stationary risk (risk if I hit the brake immediately).
• 0.024b (skipped) – 2017-08-26
  • Remove flattener completely.
  • Merge branch knn to master.
• 0.023h.knn.b – 2017-08-26
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 82.15% (46th), PL: 1091-60 (54th), Survival: 89.1%
  • Tune gun against RaikoMicro & FloodMini:
    • Use manhattan distance for knn
    • Use gaussian distribution kernel density
    • Use max overlap for selecting best firing angle
    • Use accel for lateral direction in gun.
    • Give up PreciseMea but in gun attribute.
    • Add accel & currentGf dimension.
    • Thanks Skilgannon for the great idea of using currentGf! Also thanks Skilgannon for the ideas of using manhattan distance & gaussian distribution kernel density.
• 0.023h_knn – 2017-08-25
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 79.56% (63rd), PL: 1061-89 (80th), Survival: 85.99%
  • Based on 0.023h.
  • Try kNN (my Bucket PR KdTree implementation) in gun and movement.
• 0.024 – 2017-08-24
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 71.14% (134th), PL: 965-187 (154th), Survival: 77.11%
  • WaveSurfing: Add a flattener.
  • Gun: fire gfs from last 50 tick waves.
• 0.023i (skipped) – 2017-08-24
  • Fire lower power at first shot.

  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 70.1% (155th), PL: 922-230 (199th), Survival: 75.69%

  • Rework energy management.
• 0.023f – 2017-08-23
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 68.04% (192nd), PL: 901-250 (218th), Survival: 77.82%
  • Gun: try to match enemy bullet power.
• 0.023e – 2017-08-22
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 67.91% (194th), PL: 896-255 (224th), Survival: 75.33%
  • Fix a bug in 0.023d that caused WallSmoothing not working.
• 0.023d – 2017-08-22
  • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 67.07% (212th), PL: 726-235 (386th), Survival: 73.97%
  • Try some non-iterative way of WallSmoothing in both gun and movement. Also as a side effect, a trivial bug in the old simplest implementation of WallSmoothing is eliminated. And the total running time is halved comparing to the old implementation when fighting against RaikoMicro.
• 0.023c (skipped) – 2017-08-22
  • Add a switch to debug graphics, and is off by default.
  • Try to truncate gun gf history but no noticeable increase or decrease in performance against RaikoMicro.
  • Fix a bug causing wave to be logged after enemy die.
