Background Information
- Bot Name
- LemonDrop
- Author
- Exauge
- When is LemonDrop coming out of BETA?
- Two weeks after version 1.5 is released. It will probably be around 06-01-2010.
- Extends
- AdvancedRobot
- What's so special about it?
- It's my first robot which implements a small, but effective (against small bots) Random Movement. Most lightweight pattern matchers have a very difficult time hitting it. Also it has multi-mode movement that works as follows: if it loses 3 rounds before it wins 3, it switches to a Stop & Go movement (to perform better against basic targeting methods). It then runs the Stop & Go movement until it loses 3 rounds. After that, it figures which movement performed the best, and uses it for the remaining rounds.
- How competitive is it?
- Fairly - it's #60 in the microrumble and #284 in the general rumble.
- Where can I get it?
- Just click the download link to the right.
- Version Information
- 1.0 - Pattern Matching, Random Movement, Infinity lock
- 1.1 - stronger movement algorithm, strengthened wall avoidance
- 1.2 - strengthened movement even more, changed gun a wee bit ;), corrected small glitch
- 1.3 - small gun tweaking, better wall avoidance, stronger movement, narrow lock radar
- 1.4 - multi-mode movement, fixed "sticky-wall glitch" by reverting to previous wall avoidance
Strategy
- How does it move?
- Random Movement, Stop & Go
- How does it fire?
- Pattern Matching
- How does it dodge bullets?
- Random Movement, Stop & Go
- How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?
- It doesn't. It's not a melee bot - its radar has not even been focused to function when fighting more than one bot - that might be implemented soon.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
- A few static variables including symbolic state, effectiveness of movement methods, win count, movement to use, and a couple others.
Additional Information
- Where did you get the name?
- It just came to me :P
- Can I use your code?
- Absolutely. It's RWLPCL. I commented the code a lot to make it easier to understand, but it's slightly compressed to save codesize so you might have to pay semi-close attention. You can view the code by clicking the source link to the right. You can see more free code / tutorials at my code snippets page.
- What's next for your robot?
- Add a few more advanced features, maybe switch to GuessFactor Targeting, integrate a flawless wall avoidance while keeping it micro size.
- Does it have any White Whales?
- Thorn, Waveshark, Smoke, Raiko, and Acero. (Could change with V 1.5 :O)
- What other robot(s) is it based on?
- I used a slightly altered version of Robar's BlackWidow gun.
