- What's special about it?
- This is a table driven bot. It uses canned guess factors, desired engage distance, fire power, movement type, and movement length all segmented upon distance from its enemy. It also has a default table it uses for unknown bots and ignores the bot's version number for behavior so that bot upgrades don't confuse it much.
- How competitive is it?
- #1 in 1v1 ranking - way #1. #11 in Micros. Still improving as well.
Strategy
- How does it move?
- From studies of its opponents (offline), it either goes mostly forward, back and forth, random, or anywhere I want in between.
- How does it fire?
- String based Guess Factor segmented heavily by distance and a little lateral velocity.
- How does it dodge bullets?
- Watches enemy power levels and moves when it changes at all.
- How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
- No melee strategy, but it would probably be ok.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
- Nothing. It has all it needs in its string tables.
Additional Information
- Where did you get the name?
- It has a little black book on every bot it competes against.
- Can I use your code?
- Go for it, though give credit as this is a new concept that has yet to be fully fleshed out by me. I'd like to see how far I can push this idea before fighting the next generation of SGF gun bots :)
- What's next for your robot?
- Get above 80% APS in nanos.
- Add all other rumble bots for improvements outside of the nano land. (Micros 90% complete.)
- Improve default parameters.
- One last tune pass for current bots.
Create a seperate bot to generate my tables for me - man that was tedious to do by hand.Improved dodging and flatter random movement.Address 0 velocity aiming issues via averaging or something.Codesize reduction. Found 50+ bytes thus far.Dynamic distancing per opponent -Investigate other segmentations methods besides distance - which I'm told is one of the weakest.No need...Partial string matches on names. Need 6 bytes or so more.Mode OSCO needs a little help to get closer - perhaps factor some distance into its timings.
- Does it have any White Whales?
- Multi-mode bots hurt its aim, the more modes, the worse I do. Bots that dynamically change their lead values and keep them constant over the life of the match(surfers) give him a very, very tough time. Surprisingly, PM bots are handled well by the its movement code. Basically, a flat GF profile bot with mulit-modes is a big problem.
Here's the current, updated list:
- Moebius - strong movement and an excellent gun.
- Neophyte Pattern and PRAL - Strong movement. Ditto on Weaknesses.
- Fuatisha - Very strong new bot.
- Assertive - Good, strong bot.
- DosEXE 0.9a - Two bots with same name but different versions entered. My tables cannot cope with this.
- The top 10 Micros.
Ram BotsVariable Fire Power kills them dead. Variable distance make the slaughter worse.
- What other robot(s) is it based on?
- Pretty much unique now.
Current Ranks
- 1 in Nano Rumble
- 11 in Micro Rumble
Mini and overall aren't real yet.
