Me

My name is Doruk Sekercioglu. I am a 13 years old Turkish student in high-school. Doing robocode as a hobby. Probably the youngest one here(There are bots older than me=)). I started robocode last year and I thought that head-on targeting was the best targeting method and circling around the enemy was the best movement because head-on targeting couldn't hit it =). I am checking the wiki like 6 times a week and improving my bots.

Extends Robot

TheFieryBot

Extends Robot, Spin Gun, Square movement

FireRate

(My plan was to make this bot beat every bot but I thought that the only bots were the sample bots) Extends Robot, Smarter Ramming

ParallelFire

I saw Diamond vs Shadow on Youtube and I said "Wow I should make a robot like this" Result: Fire, Go back, Go ahead, Fire again

There are like 25 other bot I will skip them.

Advanced Robots

Golem, Cyclops, Phoenix, DeadKnight

All of them keeps the track of enemy energy and moves to dodge

M103, T62A, Obj742?(I don't remember)

All of them circles the enemy and fires at the enemy.

Note

I thought that nobody could hit any of them(I thought that Diamond and Shadow was firing randomly =))

After Downloading Rapture

Rapture is not a very strong bot (601 currently) but it had pattern matching and just beat my bots in a second. Then everything changed about robocode.

TheBeast

Some sort of random movement, Tried to do linear targeting. UNRELEASED

Tomahawk

My first bot in the rumble bot but I needed to wait for 5 months to put it into roborumble because I didn't know how to.

(Thanks very much to Beaming and Skilgannon they helped me a lot)

Tomahawk used DC-PIF for everything but I didn't normalised the weights so while distance was weighted 1200; velocity was 16.

Things I Invented When I Was Improving Tomahawk

Random Movement

MinimumRisk Movement

Angular Minimum Risk Movement(Instead of looking distances it looked at angular difference).

Linear Gun(It was changing it's fire power to shoot)

Circular Gun(Just a complicated formula and needed to change fire power to hit the enemy)

Mean Linear/Circular

Laser Targeting

Virtual Guns

GF -1/0/1 gun(Precise MEA)

Segmented VCS Gun

KNN with PIF and GF

KNN with kernel density but I didn't know what was kernel density.

Wave Surfing by looking to the graphics of Diamond

After Finding Robowiki

I saw everything that I found and a lot more was here. I just started to read it everyday when I get bored.

Good Bots

WhiteFang

My first good bot. I wrote the whole code on my own but I used Rednaxela's 3rd gen Kd-tree.

Best Ranking: 114

Husky

Simple bot set on BasicGFSurfer with a DC-GF Gun and Segmented VCS movement.

Best Ranking: 86

Havoc

Neural bot set on BasicGFSurfer with a MLP Gun and a MLP Movement. RETIRED(Wrong Backpropogation)

Best Ranking: 101 (When using KNN)

Zoom

NN bot set on Havoc with a NN special to robocode. My current bot. RETIRED(Wrong Backpropogation)

Best Ranking: 120

Wyvern

VCS bot which I made from modular BasicGFSurfer. Creates random VCS predictors.

Best Ranking: 67(Because of a performance enhancing coding mistake)

Projects

Roboneural: There are Neural Networks designed for robocode in this project and SwordOfFire, ColdBreath uses it.

Grapher2D: Using an Auto Encoder, this bot will try to show the 5D movement profile in 2D.
