The documentation for event priorities is unclear. [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/AdvancedRobot.html#setEventPriority-java.lang.String-int- setEventPriority] says lower values are higher priority while [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/docs/robocode/robocode/AdvancedRobot.html#getEventPriority-java.lang.String- getEventPriority] says higher values are higher priority. Testing confirms the later is correct. Also note that the priority of RoundEndedEvent is 110, not 100 as documented.

Background

I was first introduced to robocode in around 2010 as an undergraduate. For our class competition I wrote a simple melee bot using minimum risk movement and a buggy linear targeting gun which came second overall. I've been fascinated with robocode ever since but it wasn't until 2024 that I finally entered the RoboRumble with Quantum.

My bots

Nano

Quantum - A melee specialist with a novel take on nano sized Anti-Gravity Movement.

Micro

FireHammer - A melee specialist with a powerful gun but very basic movement. My attempt at squeezing Mirage's gun into a micro bot.
