My name is Nat Pavasant. I'm a 16-year-old robocoder from Thailand.
 +
<!-- Old Profile, keep for I don't want to delete
 +
I was introduced to Robocode in 2006, when I was 11 years old. I saw some posts somewhere on the internet and I tried it. At first, the only thing I could do is to copy sample.Wall, rename it, and make a team of it! After 3 days, I got bored and returned to PHP programming. Sometime in July, 2007, I saw a notice about Thailand National Robocode Tournament on my school notice board so I restarted robocode. And again, I got bored in an hour! At last, I've found a topic in http://programming.in.th about robocode and I've found this wiki!! I am currently (Mar 2, 09) the only Thai robocoder who participates robocode community. (There're more Thai robocoders out there, but they don't participate in robowiki nor roborumble.) I'm almost the most competitive robocoder in Thailand! (for the score league)
 +
 +
Now, I'm the creator of the un-popular Thai RoboWiki. Also, I've taken a place in robocode development! The place 'Tester' is what I can do now, but not in future.

--><!-- New Profile -->

I was first introduced to Robocode sometime in 2006 when I was 11 years old. I didn't remember where I found it but I wasn't very good at English at that time so I couldn't find this wiki. From time to time, I mainly played on a modified version of [[Wall (bot)|Wall]], but I never dealed with [[AdvancedRobot]]s. Not long after, I got bored and returned to PHP programming. Later in July 2007, I found a notice of Cubic Thailand National Robocode Tournament 2007. I took another look at my old installation of [[Robocode]] in my computer but didn't get further than the last time I played on it. Again, I returned to PHP programming. In the middle of 2008 I saw another word about [[Robocode]] on my the NSC software contest in my country. In the example of the proposals they listed contains one software called Robo-Rookie which implemented Junior Robot visual editor via Flash.

September 2008 is when I entered the Robocode community. I was a lot better at English and started to seek articles about [[GuessFactor Targeting (traditional)|GuessFactor Targeting]] that I've heard a lot about for a long time. I didn't understand any part, neither simple or hard, of it. The first robots I've ever downloaded are [[Tigger]] and [[SpareParts]], then [[Gladiator]] and [[Dookious]]. It was still really, really hard so I decided to learn Quick Targeting (say [[Head-On Targeting|HOT]], [[Linear Targeting|LT]] and [[Circular Targeting|CT]]) first. I took a look at [[NanoBot]]s because I thought they would make me understand it easier. But, unfortunately, many nano-bot code are super-optimized for codesize and made me having a headache on it. Anyway, my first robot is a [[NanoBot]] after reading many many robots' source to understand non-blocking call. I was so silly that I was waiting/reloading [[Pulsar]]'s old server ranking page for a day and realized that I need to look at [[Darkcanuck]]'s instead.

I was introduced to Robocode sometimes in 2006, when I was 11 years old. I saw some of post somewhere on the internet and I try it. At first, only thing I can do is to copy sample.Wall, rename it, and changed it into team! After 3 days, I got bored and return to my PHP programming. Sometimes in July, 2007, I saw notice about Thailand National Robocode Tournament on my school notice board so I retried my robocode programming. And again, I got bored after an hour! At last, I've found topic in http://programming.in.th about robocode and I've found this wiki!! I am currently (Feb, 9 09) only one of Thai robocoder who participating robocode community .(Thus there're more Thai robocoder out there, but they didn't participating robowiki nor roborumble.) I'm almost most competitive robocoder in Thailand! (for the score league)
+
== Bots ==
 +
Order by creation date.
 +
* [[Ocnirp]]: My first competitive robot. Nano-sized.
 +
** [[OcnirpSNG]]: Sister of [[Ocnirp]], featuring [[Stop And Go]] movement on the top of the old random movement.
 +
** [[OcnirpPM]]: Ocnirp with PM that that match on both lateral velocity and advancing velocity but predict using lateral velocity only.
 +
* [[BlackHole]]: My truly first bot (I mean, I wrote more than 70% of it myself) and my first long developed robot.
 +
* [[NP]]: A [[Velocity Surfing]] [[MicroBots|microbot]].
 +
* [[Samekh]]: My experiment (really)
 +
* [[Pallas]]/[[Pallas/PallasHawk|PallasHawk]]
 +
* [[Asteroid]]/[[Ceres]]: A robot framework/base designed with reusable components with other AdvancedRobots and/or other frameworks/bases (like [[Module]] etc.). Will be released when I completed my robots. Based directly on [[User:Rednaxela/BotBase|Red's BotBase]] with some ideas from Module, [[PluggableRobot]] and [[DrawingBot]]/[[User:Nfwu/Painter|Nfwu's Gfx]]/[[Diamond|Diamond's Gfx]].
  
== Bots==
+
Also, check out my [[/Free code|free code]].
''Almost all of those bot is just-create bot, and it will not be cared or improved anymore excepted for critical bugs.'' Order by creatation date.
 
* [[Carola]]: My first, public, nano-size and shameless robot. Almost everything is taken from [[WeekendObsession]].
 
* [[NanoKitty]]: A nano bot. First designed for One-one-One, but used [[Head-On Targeting]] so it's better in melee.
 
* [[SwodniwMR]]: A nano bot that compleately design for melee, fire [[Head-On Targeting|head-on]] and move randomly.
 
* [[Ocnirp]]: My first competitive robot. nano-size.
 
* [[AtomicMini]]: A melee robot and my second shameless robot since a movement is entirely from [[Shiz]] and gun from [[MiniTron]].
 
* [[MiniAtomicOperation]]: A group of 5 AtomicMini.
 
* [[BlackHole]]: My truly first bot (I mean, I wrote more than 70% of it myself) and my first long development robot.
 
* [[AW]]: Test bot. One-on-one with [[Robar]]'s AOM. Come with Simonton's Pattern Matching as usual for my nanobot.
 
  
== Goals ==
+
=== Planned Future Robots ===
* Be throne of all roborumble.
+
* [[HyperRobot]]: An extend-robot bot which has [[Wave Surfing]].
* but currently focused on general melee/roborumble.
 
  
== Competitions ==
+
=== Current Developing Robots ===
I'm not want to show my competitiveness, but I must keep records of my competitions.
+
: but I hardly find a time to work on it.
 +
* [[Simpler]]: by name :-)
 +
* [[TheRiver]]: Trying to do full Melee Surfing.
 +
* [[BlackHole]] v2
  
* Won 1st prize of Cubic Thailand National Robocode Tournament 2008 - Jan, 31 2009 -- Melee Battles -- Won 30,000 Baht (~$855)
+
=== Obsolete/Retired robots ===
* Won 2nd prize of Thailand National Robocode Tournament 2009 - Feb, 7 2009 -- One-On-One Survivalist Battles -- Won 20,000 Baht (~$570)
+
* <s>[[Carola]]</s>: My first, public, nano-sized and shameless robot. Almost everything is taken from [[WeekendObsession]]. Retired, for the shame it gave me =)
** If this is normal robocode competition (I mean, not survivalist battle), I am going to win definitely! I got 4-6 survival score and 77%-23% normal robocode score!
+
* <s>[[NanoKitty]]</s>: A nano bot. First designed for One-one-One, but it uses [[Head-On Targeting]] so it's better in melee. Retired.
** Because I fire too often (In fact, I ''always'' fire) and he is a great dodger with great random movement (I have PM gun, not enough time to write GF). Another thing is he only fire to disabled inactivity timer, so he will often out survive me, resulting in higher survival score!
+
* <s>[[SwodniwMR]]</s>: A nano bot that is completely designed for melee, fires [[Head-On Targeting|head-on]] and move randomly. Retired.
 +
* <s>[[AtomicMini]]</s>: A melee robot and my second shameless robot since the movement is entirely from [[Shiz]] and the gun from [[MiniTron]]. Retied.
 +
** <s>[[MiniAtomicOperation]]</s>: A group of 5 AtomicMinis. Retired.
 +
* <s>[[AW]]</s>: Test bot. One-on-one with [[User:Robar|HUNRobar]]-style AOM. Comes with [[User:Simonton|Simonton]]'s [[Pattern Matching]] gun as usual for my nanobots. Retired.
 +
* <s>[[Hebe]]</s>: My test of my crazy ideas. [[StopNGo]] movement and [[Circular Targeting]]. Retired.
 +
* <s>Mysterious</s>: Failed attempt at nano adaptive movement.
  
== Current Development ==
+
=== Unreleased Robots ===
* A Thai Robocode Community website (which include Thai [[Robocode Repository]], Thai [[RoboRumble]] and new [[Thai RoboWiki]]).
+
Don't want me to list all of my unreleased, there's a LOT. Here are some:
** New Thai RoboWiki goes online at http://wiki.robothai.net/ thus nothing there except plain MediaWiki/1.14rc1.
+
* Juno, another vapourware after Pallas.
** A new Thai roborumble that I planned to create also accept oversea competitors! I think I'll reborn PointBlank battle and add my new BlankyBattle (which mean less number of robot in really large battle!). Also with TwinDuel, Sonnet/Haiku/Femto Battle. I ''may'' include Hat League into it, too. (don't know if my new server hold that? I will ask Darkcanuck for his roborumble server code!)
+
* Aquazyned and few A... bot.
* Special: Create template for userboxes you see on this page. (I don't know anybody want them? This is not wikipedia.)
+
* Pencil, MilkyWay, Galaxy, Mercury
 +
* ... and lot other.
  
== Planned Future Robot ==
+
== Goals ==
* [[HyperRobot]]: An extend-robot bot which have WaveSurfing.
+
* Get the throne of all rumble.
** Please tall me if someone done already. Now, I only heard of extend-robot [[GuessFactor Targeting (traditional)|GuessFactor Targeting]].
+
** but I currently focus on general melee/roborumble.
** I think I must keep track of enemy gunheat instead of energy drop. I also think that TrueSurf is impossible for extend-robot so I ''must'' use goto-style surfing. Anyone have idea?
+
* Be the youngest who entered [[The 2000 Club]] and [[The 2100 Club]]!
 +
* Be the first one who breaks the 2200 beerier!
 +
* Having PHP plugins for robocode =D
  
<!-- Comment out for now, Don't seem to useful since I haven't start it yet!
+
<!-- Don't want other to see them
== Research ==
+
=== Planned Researches ===
I've many of private researches which will not finish shortly :-) (I mean, I have a lot of works at school so I don't have any time for these researches.) Here are some of my important researches
+
* [[/Movement Research Codename NGC1904]] Wave Surfing experiment. Path Finding Go-To style.
 +
* [[/Targeting Research Codename M31]] Gun without GF and  experimental PIF.
 +
* [[/Movement Research Codename NGC224]] Wave Surfing experiment. True Surfing style.
 +
* [[/Targeting Research Codename M42]] VCS-PIF experiment.
 +
* [[/Movement Resarch Codename NGC1976]] Just named, don't know what will it be.
  
* Research for [[AngularTargeting]] to work with moving robot. ''(Edit: I found some old robot(Mako/Gouldingi) with an angular targeting and I now start working on it! Thanks, [[PEZ]])''
+
Some fact for one who read this:
 +
* M79 and NGC1904 are the same thing, a globular cluster in the constellation Lepus
 +
* M31 and NGC224 are the same thing, Andromada Galaxy
 +
* M42 and NGC1976 are the same thing, Orion Nebula
 +
 
 +
Another FACT: READ THIS!
 +
I don't think I'll finish all of those experiments, just NGC1904 seems to be finished.

; Robot naming
 
* For a just-create bot, I backward-ed a first word I see(or think), like Swodniw (Windows).
 
* For a robot planned for long development, start with "A" and continue a word with lot of not-common-use alphabets (z, q, x). Then change "i" in the word to "y".
 
* For a robot planned for really-long development, a name I think :)
 
* For a research bot, just use name "NatBot", whatever a suffix or not, and increment number.
 
 
 
 
 
; Robot staling
 
OK, I admit I stole many of robots out there in roborumble, whatever it's open source or not, with Java Decompiler. My most problem robots are [[ABC]]'s and [[David Alave]]'s robot since they use Java Obfuscation. '''''NOTE: I'm not stole these robot as-is. Therefore, it is my good learning point.'''''
 
 
 
 
 
; Love and hate
 
As you see in my userboxes, I hate [[Waves]] and all targeting base on it, but I still us it because its simple, effective way to use (and less memory consuming). Thus, I still hate [[GuessFactor Targeting|guess factor]] for its unexplainable result (why it can hit [[Random Movement|random movement]] well? Not answer me because it's statistical!). I love [[Pattern Matching|pattern matching]] because its result look reasonable to me. When combine all my hate and love together, it show that I am as same as [[ABC]] in many way!

My name is Nat Pavasant. I'm a 16-year-old robocoder from Thailand. I was first introduced to Robocode sometime in 2006 when I was 11 years old. I didn't remember where I found it but I wasn't very good at English at that time so I couldn't find this wiki. From time to time, I mainly played on a modified version of Wall, but I never dealed with AdvancedRobots. Not long after, I got bored and returned to PHP programming. Later in July 2007, I found a notice of Cubic Thailand National Robocode Tournament 2007. I took another look at my old installation of Robocode in my computer but didn't get further than the last time I played on it. Again, I returned to PHP programming. In the middle of 2008 I saw another word about Robocode on my the NSC software contest in my country. In the example of the proposals they listed contains one software called Robo-Rookie which implemented Junior Robot visual editor via Flash.

September 2008 is when I entered the Robocode community. I was a lot better at English and started to seek articles about GuessFactor Targeting that I've heard a lot about for a long time. I didn't understand any part, neither simple or hard, of it. The first robots I've ever downloaded are Tigger and SpareParts, then Gladiator and Dookious. It was still really, really hard so I decided to learn Quick Targeting (say HOT, LT and CT) first. I took a look at NanoBots because I thought they would make me understand it easier. But, unfortunately, many nano-bot code are super-optimized for codesize and made me having a headache on it. Anyway, my first robot is a NanoBot after reading many many robots' source to understand non-blocking call. I was so silly that I was waiting/reloading Pulsar's old server ranking page for a day and realized that I need to look at Darkcanuck's instead.
