SuperWalls

SuperWalls is a part of the Super Sample Bots set by CrazyBassoonist. It is intended to provide new robocoders with a new challenge after beating all of the sample robots.

Thanks to Nat for cleaning up the bad coding caused by my horrible coding skills.

UPDATE: I guaranteed that this robot will not hit walls over than 2 times per round (when no hit-robot, too) » Nat | Talk » 19:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Movement

SuperWalls moves like Walls, but without a constant speed and it changes directions every now and then.

Targeting

SuperWalls uses two guns, a Linear Targeting gun and a Head-On Targeting gun. It keeps track of the number and of shots and hits of each gun, and uses whichever gun works better.
