Background Information

What's special about it?

Uses a PM-lite gun which tries to really shrink code size of the usual wiki PM-gun Utilizes a look-up table for the multimode movement Inspired by Yatagan, PraldeGuerre, AralT

How competitive is it?

Currently ranked #4 in NanoRumble.

Strategy

How does it move?

Uses normal One-Way Orbit then Energy Drop Direction Switches then eventually to Random Oscillation Movement after a few deaths.

How does it fire?

It uses Pattern Matching (a PM-lite to be precise!) without match length iteration, any pattern misses (-1) would be Head-On Targeting

How does it dodge bullets?

Relies on multimovement and hopefully one of the movements would be the challenging enough for the opponent

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

My cat name is "Neko" (which is pretty much still means cat in Japanese), I added some flavor so it's more unique

Can I use your code?

Feel free to adopt, adapt and improve. Credits too when possible. :3

What's next for your robot?

This has probably reached its peak, until I find a way to shrink a full-blown PM gun.

Does it have any White Whales?

Most likely against Parallax.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

Yatagan, PralDeGuerre, WeekendObsession and Aral

I want to give a huge thank you to all the Robocode developers and contributors!
