Ugh...right when I think I get the gun working, I realize that I haven't done anything at all since I was fighting the battle with the wrong bot :( --Starrynte 02:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Various Questions
OK. I temporarily set the CPU constant to 1 second, just to test this. It currently searches through ALL the points and picks the closest one. Yet it can't beat Walls yet. I believe it's one of the following problems:
- GF implemented incorrectly, though I don't think it is this
- DC implemented incorrectly, a possibility
- Cannot just use the closest point (must use multiple ones), this is also a possibility
- Other?
Thoughts? --Starrynte 04:16, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
If Wall fire and you don't move, you won't normally beat it with GF gun, at leat in my development. » Nat Pavasant » 06:54, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- I never knew that! Thanks for the info! --Starrynte 04:02, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Occasionally, the bot seems to freeze (the radar stops turning but there is still a scan arc, text output from onscannedrobot stops, gun stops, basically as though the robot was stop except for the radar arc). The other bot keeps moving, robocode reports no errors and no skipped turns and no "robot stopped". It always freezes at the start of the round. I have duplicated this a few times. Any reason why? --Starrynte 04:02, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
I've never encountered that. What version of Robocode are you using? And have you tried any others? If it's only in the 1.7.1.4 beta, I'm sure Fnl would appreciate it if you filed a bug report here. --Voidious 13:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Comparison to segmentation
Your description of translating a data point into a bin reminds me of segmentation and Visit Count Stats. I'm curious - could you give any more details on how this works, and/or how it's different than segmentation? --Voidious 13:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
