Me

I am a Turkish student currently in high school. My teacher introduced me to Robocode and it probably is the only reason I do programming today.

Over the time, I've come to realize what a complicated optimization problem robocode was.

Since the July of 2020, I have spent more time learning other languages, most of them being lower level and I realized how inefficient most of my code was. Although I don't really feel like using Java anymore, I don't think I can possibly give up on robocode just yet. At least not before I give a final shot with Neural Networks ;)

Bots

I have made many robots, mostly experimental and most of them are retired.

ColdBreath:

My first competitive NN bot. Uses Roboneural. Reached a ranking of 55 with only 1 predictor for both movement and gun.

Oculus:

Oculus reached a ranking of 35 but was later removed temporarily since it was too slow.

WhiteFang:

WhiteFang is my third robot to be released. It's now in top 10 after tons of work and tuning.

Raven:

Raven is my most competitive 1on1 robot. It currently holds the 7th place in roborumble.

Projects I am Working On

A garbage free Neural Network library for future robots. I'd really like to set the standards Skilgannon and Rednaxela set with their kd-trees :)
