BlackHole/Old/VersionHistory

Version 0.1.06 - Rating: ? (?) - 25 Feb 09 - True Wave Surfing

• As the answer on User:Nat/WaveSurfingQuestion, this robot at last perform a real wave surfing.
• As the answer on User:Nat/WaveSurfingQuestion, this robot now has flattener.
• a LOT improvement in graphical debugging.
• Change bin smoothing to my own, crazy linear bin smoother.
• Improve flattener trigger.
• Added Dynamic Distancing.
• Have fake gun aiming with flat stats to dodge.
• Reduce number of bins from 3501 to 35
• Change distance control from my own version to Dookious version. (my own version doesn't support dynamic distance.)
• Add anti rammer code (anti-rammer from Dookious and rammer-detector from Bufferfly)
• Fixed one bug: the old version accidentally weight every wave the same.

Version 0.1.05 - Rating: 1783 (91st) - 21 Feb 09 - Refactored rolling averaged depth

• Officially added Salom Surfing.
• Refactored rolling averaged depth: much better
• Take bot width into account instead of static 150 bins covering.
• Better danger calculation.
• Redesigned wave color :)
• Better Flattener (still force-disabled)
• Increase bins from 1001 to 3501 (actually I want 5001, but it become a monster and crash my robocode up!
• Add code to call java's gc when the round end. (I recommend all top, no-codesize-restrict bot call this.)
• Next release: more buffers (perhaps buffer manager) and get flattener to work!

Version 0.1.04a - Rating: 1774.1 (99th) - ? - Multiple surfer

• My first attempt on Salom Surfing work well, except one condition: It worse than .04test!

Version 0.1.04test - Rating: ? (?) - ? - The biggest change on this bot ever

• Fixed misspelling bug: biggest change :)
• Has more surfing buffers
  • Old has one buffer, now 6 buffers.
• Added GF Gun! (actually Raiko's gun)
• I saw the point why it perform worse agaist some GF bot, my segmentation on movetime and accl are broken result in same segment every time.
• Increase wall margin in wall segment calculator
• Fix bin smoothing
• It is now my test bot on WaveSurfing :) I'll release it often. Next release is to surf multiple wave!

Version 0.1.03 - Rating: 1783.8 (91st) - 15 Feb 09 - Add new thing

• TOP 100 I'M HAPPY :)
• Add Dive Protection (use same thing as Komarious)
• Add stop precise prediction
• Change rolling average depth (now it like Komarious: when wave hit, rolling at 100; when bullet hit, roll at 0.8)
• A LOT decrease on VGun rolling average depth from 200 to 3 to make the adaptive movement harder to dodge.
• Remove flattener (seem to lower my ranking)
• Misspelling bug not yet fix.
• This should be last version of 0.1 series.

Version 0.1.02 - Rating: 1774.8 (161st) - 12 Feb 09 - Small Bugfix

• Reduce RollingAverage depth: I once saw that lower rolling average is better with well segmentation. I try my own and gave it 100 values which can dodge Phoenix well! Then, I look at other people source code and I realized that I have too much recent data! So, by now, it 15.
• Sightly improve VGun stats calculation.
• Change flattener condition and operation a bit, but still no segment.
  • Seem to be that default WaveSurfing is better than older version of Flattener, not sure this version
• Leave one bug there: The misspelling of graphics.
• Hope this will be last release of 0.1. I am fully redesign this robot (like I did in Carola from 0.2 to 0.3) but base on same concept.

Version 0.1.01 - Rating: ? (124th) - 16 Jan 09 - Critical Bugfix

• I just try a WaveSurfingChallenge just before I released this bot and I forgot to put gun back in!
• But I saw some old score that I can dodge many of HOT well (Ha ha, I always update HOT hit in my stat each time a wave pass!)
• EDIT: The old ranking seem to be wrong with this version. I've removed it since I think it Glicko2, not ELO.

Version 0.1 - Rating: ? - 16 Jan 09 - First release

• It isn't a time to released yet but I need to know its performance because I will go to scout camp tomorrow.
