What is the difference between this and Watermelon? I first think this is Go-to surfing, but it is true surfing anyway. » Nat | Talk » 13:08, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- This is the next iteration of Watermelon - I conquered kid.Toa (finally!) and fixed some bugs in my distancing that allowed me to get rid of some rambot special-case code, improving my survival against rambots to nearly 100%. The main reason for the rerelease was twofold: I wanted a more serious name, and I wanted an excuse to rip out all the old bits of commented-out code I had stopped using a while ago. Answering your other concern: Geomancy does use true surfing, determining the best direction to orbit each turn. Soon I plan to make a change to the movement that will increase the resemblance to a go-to bot somewhat. If my best location for the upcoming wave is very close to where I am now, I'll delay movement until the last moment, giving the opponent less information about my intentions. -- Synapse 22:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Debug Graphics
Those have to be the nicest wave graphics I have ever seen! --Darkcanuck 18:03, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Glad you like them! It's important to me that the graphics be readable enough that even at 30tps I can get a feel for why the bot is making the movement choices it does. I did recently fix a positioning issue with the graphics that caused each circle to be off-center - that will fix the varying offset between the wave and the bullet you can see in the version 1 screenshot. -- Synapse 22:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- I have to figure how you made those nice circles. Mine look like they were drawn on an Apple ][... --Darkcanuck 03:29, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
