Credits

Credits should go to:

Darkcanuck: Has shown how NNs can be useful in robocode.

Strategy

How does it move?

True Surfing

How does it fire?

Trying to predict the probabilities of GFs with a Neural Network.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

Eye in latin.

Why did you make this bot?

SimpleBot was really close to pass ColdBreath and ColdBreath was a bit too messy to improve.

ColdBreath used too much data for both gun and movement. In this bot I will be able to improve it by just adding some data.

I didn't use any precise or multi-surfing stuff so I have a lot of ideas for the next updates.

In ColdBreath I could just hardcode things. Oculus is much cleaner.

Can I use your code?

Of course.

Please do not just copy paste.

What's next for your robot?

Making it stronger against simple guns.

Making it stronger against pattern matchers.

Making it stronger against statistical guns.

Does it have any White Whales?

Every bot I make does really bad against Tron.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

None
