- Bot Name
- LittleBlackBook
- Author
- Miked0801
- Extends
- AdvancedRobot
- What's special about it?
- A string based, Guess Factor bot with 3 different movement types. Does not learn - all factors are predefined in the file.
- How competitive is it?
- #1 in 1v1 ranking. Woo hoo!
Strategy
- How does it move?
- From studies of its opponents (offline), it either goes mostly forward, back and forth, or random.
- How does it fire?
- String based Guess Factor segmented by distance and a little lateral velocity.
- How does it dodge bullets?
- Watches enemy power levels and moves when it changes at all.
- How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
- No melee strategy, but it would probably be ok.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
- Nothing.
Additional Information
- Where did you get the name?
- It has a little black book on every bot it competes against.
- Can I use your code?
- Go for it, though give credit as this is a new concept that has yet to be fully fleshed out by me. I'd like to see how far I can push this idea before fighting the next generation of SGF gun bots :)
- What's next for your robot?
Create a seperate bot to generate my tables for me - man that was tedious to do by hand.- Add all other rumble bots for improvements outside of the nano land.
- Improved dodging and flatter random movement (mode 2).
- Improve default parameters.
Address 0 velocity aiming issues via averaging or something.- Codesize reduction. Found 4-9 bytes thus far. Need a bunch more :)
- Dynamic distancing based on hit % - or something cheap. I'm setting range to 160ish now - no need for this. Perhaps a mode 3+ movement to set this? That could work. Hmmm....
- Investigate other segmentations methods besides distance - which I'm told is one of the weakest.
Investigate partial string matches on names.Just too expensive.
- Does it have any White Whales?
- Any energy based dodge w/stop and go type movements will give it some problems. Decent wave surfers will also destroy it as it only has 1 aim per segment. Multi-mode movement will give it fits as well if both movements don't fall under similiar aim factors. Combine multimode with decent dodging and I get beat. Here's my current hit list:
Scytodes - stop'n'go dodger with good gun. 80/20 kill rate on me.- BlackWidow now feasts upon me.
- NeophytePRAL - Decent flat, random movement, but his gun destroys me.
Smog - this bot has been my enemy for years and years.- AceSurf - Surfer adjusts away from my aim - death.
- HunRobar bots in general :)
- Rammers - 2.5 firepower isn't enough against 90% hit rates. Only 4 good ones though to deal with so low on list. I could always retire Tide, but that would be really cheezy.
- What other robot(s) is it based on?
- Some Moebius/NeophytePattern movement code, but mostly unique ideas here.
Current Ranks
Too Early for this yet - though it's #1 in nano after all pairing complete by 0.02%.
