About Me

I'm a 15-year-old teenager from Hungary. I've started Robocode in the early summer of 2008 and I've become an addict in no time. ;)

Works at the moment

Until now I've been dealing with 1-on-1 NanoBots. At present my purpose is to invent universal movement techniques for NanoBots.(Obviously in targeting there is Symbolic Pattern Matching.) My newest development is Adapting Oscillator Movement, which has come out with Pugio 1.0, though it's strongly a beta. In Pugio 1.2 only a reduced variant fit. Beyond this I'm working on a universal stop and go bot (Vespa), a superb bullet dodger (Mosquito) and an effective random movement for nanos (Prestige). I'm also planning a WeekendObsession-type overall nano. (BlackWidow)

I've started to make a youtube video-series about cool robocode fights, new parts are also presented in my blog.

My Bots

Nanos

• Breeze: My first real nanoBot. Oscillator movement + linear/random gun. Ranking: last third in rumble.

• THe_DaRK_BRoTHeR:This is an unsuccesful trying of mirror movement. It chooses aiming methods with a home-made inversion-based targeting selector algorithm. (it sounds good, doesn't it?) ;) Ranking: retired.

• Assertive: Top 25 pattern matcher with unique movement.

• Scytodes: Another good NanoBot, with Stop And Go movement. I'm thinking of it's retiring, but it's a good testbot, though. Anyway, top 30.

• Pugio: My kind test bot of Adapting Oscillator Movement, my new idea. One of my best nanos at present, top 10 contender.

• Mosquito: My new direction-based dodger movement with a simple linear gun. Top 30.

• Prestige: This is my PM bot designed against other top-bots. Except Ocnirp and MobyNano it beats all of them. :) Anyway, it's top 25. ;)

• Vespa: The posterior of Scytodes. It uses random Stop And Go and ranked top 15.

• BlackWidow: My Stop And Go / Random Movement pattern matcher bot. Now it's top 10, probably my best bot. ;) FOR BEGINNERS I COMMENTED THE PM CODE IN DETAIL!

Micros

• Kirbyi: My first micro. It has a nice random movement and Mosquito's bullet-dodger code. Currently top 30 micro, top 200 general.

• Quartz: Another micro with many crafty tweaks. I worked a lot with its random movement. It's quite good, but the weak bullet-dodger code and the inaccurate gun pulls down his ranking.

Plans for the future

• Create a maximum-movement minimum-targeting nano. (it's Mosquito)
• Make a top 1 nano (in progress...) ;)
• Improve AOM
• Squeeze multi-gun code and make a good nano on it
• Learn GuessFactor Targeting and WaveSurfing
• Make a good micro (I think Kirbyi is good)
• Make a very good micro
• Make a good mini
• Make a good mega
• Make good melee bots in the same categories
• Make a good team
• Invent something historical in Robocode :P
• Write articles about my ideas
