I doubled the amount of BINS (from 42 to 84). That seemed to do a LOT of good. Other than that, I didn't change to much more.

Really no changes besides fixing the wall smoothing buffer to be dynamic instead of static (i.e., it now uses getBattleFieldHeight() and getBattleFieldWidth() minus getHeight() and getWidth() (all as ints) for the wallSmoothing function instead of fixed variables. I also moved a lot of functions from GravityWave to Hh2_Utils, but that shouldn't of impacted the performance any, since it was just a copy and paste job.

This is actually a glitch in my movement code that I thought was funny. I ran this test three times, trying to figure out why my bot was suddenly ramming DustBunny. Well, in my doSurfing() function, I was adding in some more movement code to make GravityWave move when there was no waves (since BasicSurfer doesn't have any such code). Well, I rounded my setTurnRight wrong, so instead of orbiting the enemy, it rammed him. I may keep this in, depending on the rules of the Movement Challenge 2K9.

2nd	mld.DustBunny 3.8	7517 (20%)	350	70	7023	64	10	0	7	493	0

I hacked the doSurfing() function to accept two double inputs, eBearing and eEnergy, to extend my new ramming movement only after the Enemy's Energy is less than or equal to 0.0. That looked like it did some good. My next feat is adding in some distancing for my 'normal' movement, since if GravityWave gets within 400 pixels of DustBunny, DB rapes him :P.

2nd	hackhalotwo.GravityWave	17506 (24%)	14250	2870	0	0	336	50	287	213	0

This is for fun, but I was surprised at the results. GravityWave outlasted RaikoMX over half the time! Of course, RaikoMX swept the floor with GW in score, but this proves that, from when I started tweaking GW, He has become harder to hit. Now it's off to work on implementing some sort of Bin Smoothing function and testing it against DustBunny 3.8.

This is the test for my 2D Segmented BIN Array. It shows a slight improvement all around. I know it will do better if I went in and polished up the functions for the segmentation. I should test this against DustBunny 3.8...

2nd	mld.DustBunny 3.8	9089 (24%)	650	130	8156	125	28	0	13	487	0

Match 2 (using the data from the end of Match 1)

1st	hackhalotwo.GravityWave	29696 (78%)	24150	4860	0	0	599	87	486	14	0
2nd	mld.DustBunny 3.8	8302 (22%)	700	140	7303	146	13	0	14	486	0

This is a test on the save/load functions and on the 2D Segmentation Array. Both are a success. I'm going to need to polish up the way it picks Danger, since that's not using the 2D Array to it's fullest.

2nd	mld.DustBunny 3.8	7661 (20%)	400	80	7053	95	32	0	8	492	0

I added in a setMaxVelocity() for turning. Other than that and some slight tweaks to the segmentated Array to speed up the execution. After thinking about it, and while looking at the debug data, I noticed that there was a major bug in the distance Segment. The Segment is updated every turn. It should only be the distance when the bullet was fired, not the current distance. So I'm going to work on hacking the enemyWave class to take the distance Segment, then updating and re-polishing things.

I've been slowly tuning and polishing GravityWave over the last couple of days, testing and retesting ideas, segments, basically everything to try and improve the movement. Besides some very minor improvements to the prediction and danger functions, and some slight tweaks to the EnemyWave function, nothing really new to report. I did create a Scan class which is loosely biased off of Voidious' BotScan class. The Scan class stores a complete scan of the current tick, including some more advanced functions and a better workaround for detecting false waves. Once I work out some of the bugs and speed up some things, hopefully I can finally get 85+% on DustBunny 3.8.

This concludes what people were talking about, My movement is buggy. Gha. Back to basics... I'm going to work on tightening up everything. There has to be a bug in the EnemyWave Functions or the Array. Those are going to be the two things I start on first.

Well, this is a test on my pre-buffered array. DustBunny 3.8 still kills me, and there is a very slight improvement against DustBunny 3.5.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. I hacked the Wall Smoothing function to reverse directions if GravityWave was too close to the enemy, so he wouldn't ram him if the enemy was close to the wall. A total of 1,566 bullets hit him with no losses. I'm going to need to polish this up, but I got one major bug out of GravityWave! I think next is the EnemyWave Class. I've noticed that, once the wave has passed GravityWave, he forgets about it and tends to run into that bullet (if he's near a wall or backing up). I think I'm going to see if I can get GravityWave to check danger biased on the current and previous wave and move on that information.
