BeepBoop/Version History

• 2.0 - 1/8/24
  • New KNN models for aiming.
  • Active bullet shadowing: sometimes shoot at angles that produce helpful bullet shadows.
  • Better path surfing search.
  • Against rambots create gun heat waves up to 15 ticks in the future (during precise prediction).
  • Many small tweaks and improvements.
• 1.21 - 2/15/22 - APS: unknown due to some bad battles
  • Removed close-distance penalty from surfing danger.
  • Minor improvements to bullet shielding and anti-mirror.
• 1.2 - 12/10/21 - APS: 94.85 (1st), PL: 1187-1 (2nd)
  • Simplified and tuned danger estimator weighting and hit rate thresholding.
  • Removed some danger estimators that weren’t helping.
  • Fixed small bug in simulated linear/circular targeting.
  • Destroy disabled enemies when in bullet shielding mode.
• 1.11 - 8/19/21 - APS: 94.49 (1st), PL: 1179-0 (1st)
  • Improved anti-ram that simulates the enemy's movement.
• 1.1 - 8/15/21 - APS: 94.56 (1st), PL: 1178-1 (2nd)
  • New KNN formulas for aiming.
  • A few other small tweaks.
• 1.01 - 7/24/21 - APS: 94.49 (1st), PL: 1178-1 (2nd)
  • Bullet shielder uses a longer history when predicting a bullet's heading.
  • Bullet shielder works against bots that add a fixed offset to their aim GuessFactor.
  • Use bullet shielding against more bots.
• 1.0 - 7/18/21 - APS: 94.23 (1st), PL: 1179-0 (1st)
  • Use bullet shielding against a pre-specified list of bots
  • Surfing includes danger from the third wave
  • Fix a bug in weighting the second wave danger
  • Add an anti-pattern matching flattener
  • Add nano-sized linear targeting to the simulated enemy guns
  • Call this release 1.0 since I consider BeepBoop to be mostly complete at this point!
• 0.15 - 7/12/21 - APS: 91.61 (2nd), PL: 1180-1 (2nd)
  • Use precise intersection on the second wave.
  • A few other minor movement tweaks.
• 0.14a - 6/24/21 - APS: 91.29 (3rd), PL: 1180-1 (2nd)
  • Should be identical to 0.14
• 0.14 - 6/14/21 - APS: 91.17 (2nd), PL: 1180-1 (2nd)
  • Tweaks to distancing and energy management.
• 0.13 - 6/8/21 - APS: 91.4 (2nd), PL: 1183-0 (1st)
  • Switch from Gaussian to exponential kernel for surfing.
  • Add anti-mirror movement.
• 0.12 - 6/7/21 - APS: 91.28 (2nd), PL: 1183-0 (1st)
  • Danger function weights non-bullet features (mainly distance) more heavily.
  • Dodges averaged linear targeting and current guessfactor targeting by essentially creating virtual bullets from the enemy's perspective (it was already doing this for HOT/Linear/Circular targeting).
• 0.11 - 6/2/21 - APS: 91.04 (2nd), PL: 1183-0 (1st)
  • Various small tweaks/fixes, including:
    • Improved anti-ram movement
    • Fixed bug in “virtuality” feature
    • Anti-surfer gun down-weights waves near bullet collisions
    • Should be compatible with Java 8
• 0.1 - 5/18/21 - APS: 90.97 (2nd), PL: 1183-0 (1st)
  • First release!
