- What's special about it?
- It's a Anti-Gravity Movement melee bot with decent power management and a probably soon to be nano random/linear gun.
Strategy
- How does it move?
- Anti-Gravity Movement
- How does it fire?
- Linear Aim the decreases linearly over range.
- How does it dodge bullets?
- It doesn't, but Anti-Gravity Movement is hard to pattern match and very hard to linear aim at. The movement is very strong.
- How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
- No difference.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
- Nothing that it shoud, but a little left over movement code that gets rolled out in a few turns.
Additional Information
- Where did you get the name?
- It's small and cute and moves around like a dustbunny being blown in a breeze.
- Can I use your code?
- Go for it.
- What's next for your robot?
- It needs a little tuning still. I'd also like to find 2 bytes and enter it in 1v1.
- Does it have any White Whales?
- None - it own the PL crown as well not losing to anyone.
- What other robot(s) is it based on?
- It used Infinity's gun modified, and other modified antigrav code, but mostly it's its own entity.
Updates
The latest version, 3.6.2, uses a new, more compact movement scheme that is 4 bytes smaller. I added some code to have the walls push it in a sine pattern over time to help with its circle of death dance in 1v1. That moved it from 45/55 against Lib to 75/25 in 1v1. I'm testing a linear gun locally now that looks VERY promising. We'll see if it passes the research gauntlet and gets published.
New Version, 3.7 - Removed the end-game code of 3.6.2 and put in Infinity's gun. That moved it to first place. Yeah, Dustbunny!
