L337 - The Innovative Robocode Robot
Overview L337 is a robot created by moongazer07 for Robocode, featuring innovative design and strategic elements.
While incorporating some inspiration from Chase's robot,
L337 introduces novel aspects to its movement, targeting, and response to being hit by a bullet.

Behaviour
L337's behaviour is marked by dynamic and unpredictable movements, providing a challenging opponent.
The robot periodically changes colors randomly, adding variety to its maneuvers.
Movement

L337 employs a unique and seemingly chaotic movement pattern,
occasionally changing direction to confound opponents. The wallStick variable introduces randomness for navigating around walls and adjusting direction.

Radar
L337's radar continuously scans the battlefield, maintaining awareness of enemy positions.
The scanning span adapts based on the enemy's distance, enhancing situational awareness.
Targeting and Firing
Calculating the enemy's position, L337 adjusts its gun aiming based on the target's velocity,

introducing innovation to targeting. The robot aims at a random offset in the enemy's general direction, firing with varying bullet powers for unpredictability.
Hit By Bullet

In response to being hit by a bullet,
L337 turns its gun towards the source and fires with a power of 1,
showcasing an adaptive defensive strategy.

Robot Attributes
- sameDirectionCounter: Tracks how many times L337 has decided not to change direction.
- moveTime: Determines the duration of movement in the current direction.
- moveDirection: Represents the direction in which the robot is moving.
- lastBulletSpeed: Stores the speed of the last bullet that hit L337, influencing movement strategy.
- wallStick: A parameter influencing how L337 navigates around walls.

Robot Appearance
L337 features a changing colour scheme,
with random colours assigned to its body, gun, radar, bullets, and scan graphics.
