Movement Challenge Y2K9/WaveSurfing Challenge

The WaveSurfing Challenge Y2K9 gives you a way to measure your bot's ability to avoid getting hit by very predictable targeting systems. To measure your bot's movement against bots with advanced targeting systems, use other parts of the Movement Challenge Y2K9.

Avoiding Head-On Targeting and Linear Targeting are easy with BasicSurfer. Circular Targeting is more effective but still easy to dodge, too. Now, Mean Linear and Mean Circular make a dodging a LOT harder.
