So, um, yeah, it's been far too long since I worked on coding tanks. I'm making some improvements to PluggableRobot, such as reworking the debug graphics code (especially since changes to Robocode made it stop working). After that, I need to dig into why RabidWombat isn't firing where it thinks it's firing.

So after not touching Robocode for a while, I'm diving back in, authoring a rewrite of [[RabidWombat]]. I'm also creating a tool called [[RoboTweaker]] which allows you to test out tweaks to values controlling your robot's behavior.

Background

I'm (current year - 1977) years old and work as a software developer in Salt Lake City, Utah. Started robocoding in 2007 after a co-worker suggested having a Robocode tournament at work after a long, painful software release cycle. Apparently, I was more interested than the rest of the company; the bot I built (and am still working on in my copious spare time) seems to have scared everyone else off.

So after not touching Robocode for a while, I'm diving back in, authoring a rewrite of RabidWombat. I'm also creating a tool called RoboTweaker which allows you to test out tweaks to values controlling your robot's behavior.
