Just interested, did you add the 'snapping' to your precise prediction? And to clarify, you <i>reach</i> the 8,4 or 0 2 ticks before they fire? Have you made a test bot that prints out the enemy velocity that it uses to aim with, ie. the tick before the bot fires, to make sure it lines up correctly? [[Wave Surfing]] is difficult to wrap your mind around, I'm just going over the mistakes I think I'd be most likely to make =) --[[User:Skilgannon|Skilgannon]] 21:33, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | Just interested, did you add the 'snapping' to your precise prediction?

| + | I didn't add the snapping to my precise prediction yet, but watching the factors as they are surfed, the impact seems to be minimal. I reach the 8, 4, or 0 tick two turns before they fire, and maintain it the turn before they fire. I tested the timing with the new method AdvancedRobot.setDebugVariable, and confirmed that it was lining up correctly. I haven't set up a grapher yet to see what it makes my profile look like, but that's another way I could confirm that it was doing its job. -- [[User:Synapse|<font style="font-size:0.8em;font-variant:small-caps;">Synapse</font>]] 21:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | ||

Just keep in mind that their movement is going to be delayed by 2 ticks, once for them to read yours, then change, and the next for you to read their changes. But so far it sounds good =) --Skilgannon 16:35, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
I hadn't thought of that, but of course you're right. Building that delay into the design will allow me to use a tighter tolerance on detection. -- Synapse 19:45, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
