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 written in assembly 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. (Retired after the release of Figment)
