* '''1.26b'''
 +
** Changed the way Portia rates different angles in the melee targeting.
 +
 +
* '''1.26a'''
 +
** Changed the main 1v1 gun to a GuessFactor gun, trying to harness some statistical power. :)
 +
 +
* '''1.25f & 1.25g'''
 +
** Testing to see what the best rolling speed is for the surfing stats. Basically, 1.25f is the most optimal fast rolling I could find, and 1.25g uses the best slow rolling. [http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/RatingsCompare?game=roborumble&name=positive.Portia%201.25g&vs=positive.Portia%201.25f The results] are pretty interesting, with as much as 25% APS difference against some bots. In general they're both worse than the 1.25e version though.
 +
 +
* '''1.25e''' - 4 October 2009
 +
** Did several small 1v1-movement tweaks. Seems great in testing. :)
 +
 +
* '''1.25d''' - 3 October 2009
 +
** In the previous version, the rambot detection misdetected too much, hopefully fixed. Although the actual response is not as good as I'd like.
 +
** Did lots of tests and wavesuffering against kawigi's Barracuda 1.0. It should get around 99% against it now (thanks to Voidious for telling me about Barracuda)
 +
 +
* '''1.25c''' - 1 October 2009
 +
** Added an anti-rammer movement (thanks to GrubbmGait for pointing this out)
 +
** Improved the standard no-wave 1v1 movement considerably, I hope. :)
 +
 +
* '''1.25b''' - 30 September 2009
 +
** Added an anti-mirror mode (with extra debug graphics :))
 +
** Largely rewrote the 1v1-surfing code. The effect should be about the same, just costing less CPU and not crashing into walls.
 +
** Made a few small bullet power changes for 1v1
 +
** Nicer graphics :)
 +
 +
* '''1.25a''' - 26 September 2009
 +

 +
** In movement, the corners are now much more repulsing. This seems to work very well for Portia, because it has a tendency to stick there too much trying not to be the closest enemy to any opponent.
 +
** Tweaked several (formerly) arbitrarily chosen values and methods for the meleegun (based on Voidious' successes and advice to benchmark). :)
 +

 +
** Fixed a bug in 1.21b: When the battle started with only 1 opponent Portia would get disabled.
 +
** Based on the discussion on Portia, the 1v1 gun now uses a DC-PIF algorithm when enough data has been collected. This PIF data is saved between rounds. I'm hoping/expecting a better score against all but the top bots (because they adjust their movement over time, old data isn't as relevant to shoot them with).
 +
 +
* '''1.21b''' - 11 September 2009
 +
** '''{{RumbleStatsDefault|link=http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/RatingsDetails?game=meleerumble&name=positive.Portia+1.21b|rumble=MeleeRumble|scorelabel=APS|score=69.72|rank=2nd|win=279|loss=2|plrank=3rd|glicko2=1679.8|score2label=Survival|score2=93.87}}'''
 +
** Basically changed bias towards the current target to bias towards the current heading and removed 'locking' the heading a few turns before firing. In my tests, it seems to miss a lot less firing oppurtunities and have a higher score&survival rate. Lets see what happens. :)
 +
** Did some internal tidying up and centralization of the code.
 +
 +
* '''1.21a''' - 6 September 2009
 +
** Changed bullet power selection in the melee dynamic clustering gun.
 +
** Because Portia's circular targeting gun can react faster to changes in enemy state, I changed the gun selection to use that gun instead of the dynamic clustering gun when opponents come very close.
 +
** When an opponent comes close to the same corner as Portia, it now totally locks on to that opponent until either leaves the corner. I did this so that there is a higher chance of that opponent dying, and therefore a lower change of Portia receiving damage from it. :)
 +
 +
* '''1.20''' - 5 September 2009
 +
** Totally rewrote the 1v1 gun:
 +
*** What I'd like to achieve with this particular gun is to have data and make reasonably decent predictions very early in the fight.
 +
*** Tries to predict the path the opponent will take, and shows it using debugging graphics.
 +
*** Does quite well against pattern robots and generally predictable bots. Scores about 40-45% against wavesurfers, which I think is quite fair considering it doesn't save any data between rounds.
 +
** Fixed bug in handling of disabled bots, and made it more aggressive (for solo and meleemode). :P
 +
** Tweaked 1v1 movement a tiny bit
 +
 +
* '''1.19''' - 30 August 2009
 +
** Tried to preempt and fix possible sources of Exceptions.
 +
** Tweaked gun and added special handlers for disabled bots.
 +
 +
* '''1.18''' - 30 August 2009
 +
** Restructured internally to allow for an implementation of [[Shadow/Melee Gun]], and this is the first try at it. It seems to be working and I'm just too damn curious to wait.
 +
 +
* '''1.17''' - 29 August 2009
 +
** Keeps statistics and shows them at the start of the match. Among other things, this means it will be more easy to see if Portia is malfunctioning. :)
 +
** Now using [[User:Rednaxela/kD-Tree|Rednaxela's kD-Tree]]
 +
** Hopefully fixed the NullPointerException bug Voidious pointed out...
 +
** Reverted bullet power selection back to 1.13, I want my 1% APS back! :P
 +
 +
* '''1.16''' - 23 August 2009
 +
** '''{{RumbleStatsDefault|link=http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/RatingsDetails?game=meleerumble&name=positive.Portia+1.16|rumble=MeleeRumble|scorelabel=APS|score=67.43|rank=4th|win=274|loss=3|plrank=3rd|glicko2=1670|score2label=Survival|score2=92.61}}'''
 +
** Rewrote the code I did in 1.14 and 1.15. Hopefully it won't cause exceptions anymore.
 +
** Removed the main exception handlers. That way exceptions won't be hidden and secretively cause problems in battles. (Fail safe)
 +
** As proof of concept: Now detects groups of the same robot using Head-On. Portia becomes 1st roughly 85% of the time against a group of 9 [[HawkOnFire]]s now (compared to 60% before this update).
 +
** Slight changes to energy management (mostly rollback).
 +
** Slight change to DC-gun: uses squared distance instead of manhatten distance.

    • DC-gun bug fix. This is not the bug Voidious has reported about 1.14, I haven't been able to reproduce that one.
    • More aggressive bullet power use when at high energy.
  • 1.14 - 15 August 2009
    • MeleeRumble - Back to 3rd place!
    • Several DC-gun changes for melee:
      • Use strong bullets against opponents who seem easy to hit
      • Do not use predicted positions that are outside of the battlefield
      • DC-gun speedup
  • 1.13 - 11 August 2009
    • MeleeRumble - 2nd place!
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • DynamicClustering accuracy increase (Hopefully). Instead of using interpolated velocities and turn rates, it now uses relative positions.
    • Made it more selective, accurate and aggressive with "simple" robots (cyan gun).
  • 1.12 - 3 August 2009
    • MeleeRumble - 3rd place!
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • It took me quite a while to understand the concept behind kd-trees, but I finally got it! Props go to ABC and Voidious for inspiring me to study the subject. I made my own implementation of the tree, and changed the gun to use it. I think there is still a lot to improve, but I was so curious to see the result so far I had to make a release.
    • Removed green exact pattern matching gun
    • Added yellow Dynamic Clustering gun. This gun is used instead of the blue circular gun when enough data is collected.
  • 1.11 - 23 July 2009
    • MeleeRumble - APS:66.67 (5th), Survival:90.86, Glicko-2:1713.1, PL:548
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Changed the gun and added specific colors for shotlines:
      • Blue - primary circular targeting
      • Green - pattern match targeting
      • Cyan - simple bot targeting
      • Red - disabled bot targeting
  • 1.10 - 23 July 2009
    • MeleeRumble - APS:66.76 (5th), Survival:90.95, Glicko-2:1718.5, PL:546
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Major bug fix: it turns out the gun was mostly firing using simple Circular Targeting. That's now changed to actually predict opponents accelerating and decelerating.
    • Cool feature: can now detect record & predict Oscillator Movement frequency.
    • Cool feature: can now detect most sample bots and bots behaving like sample bots. It uses powerful bullets against such robots, to maximize effect. :)
    • No significant changes to movement: That way it will be more obvious what the effect of the changes on the gun are. I only did some codespeed and distancing optimizations.
  • 1.0 - 12 July 2009
    • RoboRumble - APS:66.28 (124th), Survival:75.35, Glicko-2:2149, PL:1226
    • MeleeRumble - APS:66.46 (6th), Survival:90.71, Glicko-2:1716.5, PL:542
    • Initial Release
