Diamond - Version History - Code - DiamondHawk
  • 1.33 - 8/31/2009
    • Created a more robust system for handling multiple "views" of Wave Surfing stats. Converted and tweaked old (hard-coded) views to new system and added several more.
  • 1.323 - 8/30/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.29% (5th), PL: 718-21 (17th), Survival: 92.06%
    • Rollback to 1.32.
    • Fixed a bug in Wave Surfing danger calculation: when weighting scans by inverse scan distance, forgot to pass the weights, so was using unweighted distance.
  • 1.322 - 8/30/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.12% (6th), PL: 720-19 (16th), Survival: 91.83%
    • Changes to Wave Surfing:
      • When enemy hit percentage is above the threshold for which we add in recent scans, ignore all scans' distances from (i.e., similarity to) the current scan when calculating danger.
      • Remove duplicates between "all scans" and "recent scans" clusters (as in 1.274/1.275).
  • 1.321 - 8/30/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.39% (4th), PL: 719-21 (17th), Survival: 92.16%
    • In Wave Surfing, lowered hit percentage threshold for adding in extra recent scans.
  • 1.32 - 8/29/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.4% (4th), PL: 723-17 (13th), Survival: 92.22%
    • Tweaks to Wave Surfing attributes:
      • Against non-simple targeters, drop lateral velocity, add velocity and relative heading.
      • For relative heading, split into two values: lateral (sin) and advancing (cos) components.
      • Tweak all the weights.
    • Slightly more danger associated with moving closer to enemy.
  • 1.31 - 8/28/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 69.09% (2nd), PL: 275-1 (2nd), Survival: 93.84%
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.51% (4th), PL: 721-15 (12th), Survival: 92.4%
    • Slightly tweaked kernel density calculation in Melee gun. (Not much score change, but feels more right to me.)
    • Changed how Melee gun aims when it is hot (4+ ticks before firing):
      • 1.30 left the target selection code in place and aimed at that target with HOT when the gun was hot.
      • Now, completely ignore the target selection, and just aim at everyone every few ticks while the gun is hot.
  • 1.30 - 8/27/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 68.29% (2nd*), PL: 276-2 (2nd), Survival: 92.77%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Attempt at a Melee gun that targets everyone at once (a la Shadow/Melee Gun).
    • Notes: This is the second time I've tried to implement this, and I think this time I have it working right. It hasn't been producing incredible scores in my test bed, though, so I'm skeptical how well it will perform before I tweak it a bit more.
  • 1.29 - 8/26/2009

    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 68.03% (4th*), PL: 273-3 (3rd), Survival: 92.18%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • For gun waves originating from enemies:
      • Don't fire from location of the enemy being targeted by the wave.
      • Calculate real wall distance, based on (enemy) wave source location. (1.283 just copied the wall distance values from the gun wave originating from Diamond.)
  • 1.283 - 8/23/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.45% (4th*), PL: 272-4 (4th), Survival: 91.41%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • During melee, fires and collects gun waves from locations of every enemy bot, not just from Diamond's location.

    • Movement:
      • Surf remaining waves in the air after enemy dies.
      • In calculating wave surfing dangers, change number of scans used from Math.min(scans, CLUSTER_SIZE) to Math.min(Math.ceil(scans / 5), CLUSTER_SIZE).

      • Gun heat dimension uses firing-tick gun heat instead of aiming-tick gun heat.
      • Always use gun heat = 0 when aiming.

    • Only factor in perpendicularity and don't-be-targeted risk factors in certain situations (per-enemy).
    • Use cosine-based formula for perpendicularity. (I do it this way in BrokenSword, but thought of it as a code size trick. Recently concluded it's actually more correct anyway, as it models lateral velocity.)

    • Rollback to 1.122.
    • Myriad changes to Wave Surfing:
      • Tracking normalized enemy hit percentage as in Dookious, used for making lots of decisions.
      • For the recent scans taken into account, uses the last X hits instead of clearing the recent scans every few rounds. Also only enables this when enemy hit-% is above a certain threshold.
      • Distancing based on Dookious (instead of just using desired distance = 525 all the time).
      • Added a flattener, enabled with similar conditions to Dookious, but permanently enabled once it is enabled.
      • Against very simple targeters, only use 3 DC dimensions.

    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Removed random direction change timer.
    • Tweaked risk from (Diamond's) recent locations.
    • Note: Best "bug-free" version in APS comparison. Only down .1% from 1.111 (w/performance enhancing bug), up .3% from 1.11 (bug fixed version). Good enough for me, so now I can move on with my life. =)

    • Fixed a bug in the current heading / random direction changing code.
    • Enhanced Wave Surfing debugging graphics, including drawing color-coded dangers along two closest waves.

      • Fixed one more off-by-1 bug in the surfing (using my location from 3 ticks ago instead of 2).
      • Fixed the bandwidth used in kernel density calculations. (I'd set it to a static 0.1 as a placeholder, should be based on distance.)

  • 1.06 - 5/19/2009
    • MeleeRumble - APS: 65.70% (6th), PL: 258-4, Glicko-2: 1754.3, Survival: 88.61%
