Hi Skilgannon, you said on my talk page that your melee wavesurfing is almost complete. Can you give me your prototype? I hate to suffer all those waves up :) I've idea to surf it in both my talk page and Rednaxela's talk page. You can find my email at my use page. It seem that both you and Rednaxela are working on melee wavesurfing. Thanks! » Nat | Talk » 13:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I actually want to get it working before I release it. And it's definitely still very far from completion. It can barely keep track of waves, never mind precise prediction for figuring out where to move, or stats for figuring out where is dangerous, etc. This is much more difficult in melee because there is no GF-0, because there are many bots that could be the target. Also, being the only bot of it's kind in the wild, I'm going to keep it closed source until other implementations are around. This is so that people figure out their own ways of doing things. I believe the reason the majority of 1v1 surfing bots TrueSurf is because RaikoMX was released as open source. I'll provide ideas etc, but until a significantly different system of melee surfing appears I'm not going to release the code, simply because it will stifle growth. --Skilgannon 19:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Here here! What I find interesting is that we're approaching melee surfing from the opposite directions. I'm starting with a new method system for deciding how/where to move, whereas you're starting with melee wave tracking. It will be interesting to see how our two melee surfing beasts will eventually fare against eachother in combat! I don't plan to release the code until about the same time for the same reason. Also, two bots kicking Shadow off of it's melee throne might result in interesting counters from ABC... --Rednaxela 20:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah... I want it because I had problem to create a new thing from scatch! I must have some (or only a little) scaffold to work around. I've ton of ideas about this and want to implemenmts it, but I can't due my currently problem of myself! Please, give me your implementation (the Skilgannon's one). I've no problem reading other people code, no matter how ugly they are. (I almost understand Shadow from its decompiled class now) But if you not want to share it, I must get rid of my problem right away :) Maybe I'll start work on Komarious's instead. I've ideas on both wave tracking and moving now (on my talk page and Rednaxela's talk page). Let see who'll be the first to release it! Maybe 3 bots kicking Shadow throne. If we successfully kick Shadow might result in Deja Vu like in 2003 when SandboxDT successful beaten by Shadow. I'll have school holiday in 2 weeks, I'll spent a month on this melee surfing (plus BlackHole rewrite) » Nat | Talk »
