Glacier/GlacialHawk

1.7 - 20/9/2009
- Rating pending
- Revert to 1.5
- Bias against returned situations which are more dissimilar.

1.6 - 20/9/2009
- Rating: Utter failure
- Only put results into the tree after 90 ticks.

1.5 - 20/9/2009
- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 68.37% (6th), PL: 278-5 (6th), Survival: 88.9%
- Revert to 1.2 (for now)
- Increase the number of 'proximity sensor' dimensions and tweak dimension weightings

1.4 - 19/9/2009
- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 68.22% (4th), PL: 278-5 (4th), Survival: 88.37%
- Tweak the new probabilistic model introduced in 1.3, to include a 'doubt' factor based partially on distance. (Maybe make the 'doubt' factor learned in a future version?)

1.3 - 19/9/2009
- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.65% (5th), PL: 274-8 (9th), Survival: 87.23%
- Fancy new experimental modeling of bullet-hit-probability at possible angles. Should work better than simply summing the movement profiles in the common 'shadow's melee gun' style. At least, it should once I get it tweaked...

1.2 - 18/9/2009
- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 68.39% (4th), PL: 276-5 (6th), Survival: 88.72%
- Large improvement in PIF speed, at the cost of reduced wall-intersect checking.

1.1 - 10/9/2009
- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.72% (5th), PL: 276-5 (5th), Survival: 87.82%
- Increase bullet power notably, to mostly follow HawkOnFire bulletpower formula
- Huge SlowBot and skips occasional turns. Will try to fix in 1.2 :(

1.0 - 9/9/2009
- MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.48% (5th), PL: 275-6 (6th), Survival: 91%
- Movement of HawkOnFire (from here) with Hypothermia (the gun of Glacier).
- Thoughts: Seems to be scoring how I expected: Above DiamondHawk but below ShadowHawk. But considering this gun was only given a single test run before release and no tuning at all, this is probably quite a good rating. Higher survival score than ShadowHawk indicates that bulletpower could be increased to trade a little survival for score, which doesn't surprise me given that the bulletpower selection is a complete 2-second hack without any real thought or tuning.
