Thank you for combating the latest spam attack.
Also, it looks like you didn't move back the Main Page's talk page. It's here: http://robowiki.net/wiki/Talk:$$_1-855-665-7666@_HP_Service_Phone_Number_HP_Service_Phone_Number_Support_Number0572 GrubbmGait did this.
What is this abomination you have created? I haven't looked at it at all yet, but I'm going to guess it's an advanced/evolved MoxieBot. Second guess is just a regular bullet shielder that emphasizes shielding against more advanced targeting techniques. It's lost big to some robots, but it beat other top robots including Diamond, which is a next to impossible feat. I guess I'm partially to blame by helping bring bullet shielding into the end game. :-P
I see now. I won't share your dirty little trick, but I will be fixing the vulnerability in the next version of XanderCat. :-)
On closer inspection, looks like Robot001 probably isn't your robot. Author name is Yifan Zhu. Probably just a modified version of Diamond?
I'm sure we will talk more about this robot later. Probably should be renamed at the very least if it's not the work of Voidious. This is an interesting bot regardless, as it exposes certain vulnerabilities in some robots, including XanderCat; vulnerabilities which I've fixed in XanderCat version 12.10.
I watched the video of your presentation at FirstMark. Pretty good presentation. A couple of points you may find of interest.
First, I thought the question about what you have learned or what skills you have improved from doing Robocode was a good question, and something that is important to have a good answer to. So beyond yourself, you might like to know what some other Robocode users have gotten from it. For me, it has helped refine and reinforce some of my math skills and methods for analyzing data. It encouraged and helped me learn some new algorithms, and has been a good exercise in creative problem solving.
Also, someone asked if Robocode was something people from Raytheon used. Raytheon is a contractor that develops a lot of software and hardware for the Department of Defense in the United States. It was a bit of an unusual question that came up because the person who asked it knew that Raytheon develops certain missile and projectile guidance systems. What makes it interesting is that I spent a number of years working on software for Raytheon. The only real connection between my Robocode work and Raytheon work is that they both involved programming, but nonetheless, at least 1 former Raytheon employee does indeed use Robocode.
Hi Voidious,
Thanks for holding the fort against the recent spam wave. Would be wise to block registration for a week or so?
I've packaged my robot Tomahawk but I don't know how to enter the competition. I found something about it but it was not detailed. Can someone help me?
Finally got the new web UI up - big things are it's in AngularJS (which is awesome) and has a "starter kit" where you can select from a few different movement and targeting snippets and it wires up a working bot for you. Pretty darn pleased with it! http://playberrybots.com
