Knight/VersionHistory

Planned Series

1.1 series, the PM series

• Try a very complex pattern matching gun.

1.0 series, the PIF series

• Try a PIF gun against random movers.

0.9 series, the bullet shielding series

0.8 series, the movement tuning series

• Try to tune the movement parameters with a SGD approach.
• Should take a long time.

0.7 series, the peek finder series

• Try to force myself into a situation the enemy has seen before when his gun is cool.

0.6 series, the gun tuning series

• Try to tune the gun parameters with a SGD approach.

0.5 series, the movement series

• Add gunheat waves.
• Improve close-range movement.
• Tweak movement against some simple problem bots like RaikoMicro, Charo and LauLectrik, against WSC (MC 2k6) and complement against advanced targeters.
• Improve my movement when close to the wall (avoid being stuck pointing directly to the enemy).
• Tweak wall stick and distance parameters.
• Probably do a bunch of optimizations along the way.

  • Fix an old bug which would affect Roborio too.
  • Fix my Kd-Tree.
  • Tweak movement.

0.1.3 - 09.16.2017

• • Fix precise intersection issues.
  • Add general purpose DC-GF gun from Roborio without tick wave logging, though.

0.1.2 - 09.15.2017

• RoboRumble ‒ APS: 80.53% (59th), PL: 1079-79 (70th), Survival: 90.3%

• RoboRumble ‒ APS: 81.91% (52nd), PL: 1098-61 (54th), Survival: 91.48%
  • Incorporate Roborio's movement trees with different use conditions. No flattener, though.
  • Revert order my afterRun() function is executed.
  • Log when wave passes me. Still have to log when my wave passes an enemy, though.
  • Make a class dedicated to hold stats from the battle, which is used, for example, to decide which tree to use in the movement. It can be used just for logging purposes as well.

0.1 - 09.13.2017 - first release

• RoboRumble ‒ APS: 75.55% (101st), PL: 916-178 (211th), Survival: 84.32%
  • Incorporate Monk 0.2.2 1v1 gun and movement. The wave surfing attributes are very simple and the gun is not well suited for 1v1.
