Talk:RoboRumble/Participants/GigaRumble

Updated ScalarR, WhiteFang and Neuromancer to the latest versions used in RoboRumble. Removed Midboss, Seraphim and PulsarMax as they don't qualify in the top-30 anymore. Re-added Garm and GresSuffurd. The only problem I have is with Raven. I added it, but I am unable to run battles for it as I use Java 8.

Hi,

I compiled Raven with Java 8 but I am not sure if I actually did =) (I have had issues with IntelliJ similar to this before)

There is always a little chance I made an accidental change to the robot so it would be better to wait for rumble rankings to stabilize.

After almost a year, we have new entrances

{'aaa.ScalarBot 0.012n2.9.14b',
 'aaa.n.ScalarN 0.011d.149',
 'dsekercioglu.mega.WhiteFang 2.5.0',
 'jk.mega.DrussGT 3.1.6',
 'jk.melee.Neuromancer 7.3'}

and also some bots disappearing

{'aaa.ScalarBot 0.012n2.8.14c',
 'cs.Mint 0.16',
 'gh.GresSuffurd 0.3.25',
 'jk.mega.DrussGT 3.1.4',
 'jk.melee.Neuromancer 7.0'}

I'll update the list accordingly and run the client then.

Btw I have a script to calculate the list difference, and may have an automated one latter, and then we may set up some daily task to update the list whenever the ranking is stable.

import json
from pprint import pprint

with open('giga.json') as f: # http://literumble.appspot.com/Rankings?game=gigarumble&api=true
  old = json.load(f)

with open('giga_new.json') as f: # http://literumble.appspot.com/Rankings?game=roborumble&order=PWIN&limit=30&api=true
  new = json.load(f)

olds = set(a['name'] for a in old)
news = set(a['name'] for a in new)

pprint(news - olds)
pprint(olds - news)

however this script cannot process tie broken rule automatically yet.

Snif, I disappear from GigaRumble . . . and one day later I am on par again with Midboss. Oh well, see it as a kick in the ass to do something about it.

Well, that randomness in PL adds some opportunism, but making your bot strong enough will definitely make it more guaranteed.
