Okay, I need to make a list of bullets.  I have made a bullet class and everything, but I need a special list that will let me access all of the bullets in a while/for loop and be able to add and remove them at any time and never mess up.  If I did this in a normal array I could do a for loop and access using an increasing number, but I wouldn't know when to stop. In a while loop, if I used while(bulletsArray[x] != null) and then increment x, after I remove my first bullet that say, hit a wall, it will stop there.  I need help!

Okay, I'm almost done with the prototype of my bot. It's really big, so I'll put it [[PwnBot/Current_Code|here]]. I'm sure it has lots of problems with the antigrav movement, (just look at the console, which shows the x force and y force that the points generate) and I'm sure it doesn't work at all... However, do take a look at the debug graphics, I think they're cool. =)

Here I assume that you use ArrayList to store you bullets and your bullet's classname is Bullet. If you use a plain array to keep the bullets, consider change to ArrayList.

:Oh my gosh!  You're right!  ArrayList is way more flexible! I looked at the documentation; you don't even have to increment or decrement anything!  The function remove() shifts the other elements to the left already!  Thanks!  [[User:Awesomeness|Awesomeness]] 14:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

:OH NO!  Something I did with the antigrav code messed up the bullet sim code!  Good thing I backed up the non-broken version before I added antigrav.  Should I show that one instead? I can't figure out how to add antigrav, I guess I'm simply just not good enough.  Oh well... =(   --[[User:Awesomeness|Awesomeness]] 20:58, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

:: Be sure don't use for-each style (<code>for(Bullet bullet : bullets)</code> or you will get ConcurentModificationException when you remove element (this is per java spec, but I still use the for-each style and didn't get this exception actually). And when you scroll through the array like one I mentioned, be sure you do i--, or you will just skip one element. &raquo; <span style="font-size:0.9em;color:darkgreen;">[[User:Nat|Nat]] | [[User_talk:Nat|Talk]]</span> &raquo; 14:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

What do you think of my targeting idea on my userpage? --Awesomeness 00:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I think I've seen something like this before but I don't remember which so don't care. Now, I understand how I recorded thing to tree, but how it find the match? » Nat | Talk » 01:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
It would look through every branch in the tree, and it will look for matches. It simply takes the current speed, acceleration, turn rate, etc. and finds the closest match, or matches. If there are multiple branches that match, it would take the branch that occurs most. I suppose if they're even in occurence it might pick them randomly. Then again, it might balance out, choosing based on the closeness of the match and the number of occurences combined. There's lot's of ways to do it. --Awesomeness 01:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
