How competitive is it?

I don't know yet.

Credits

Skilgannon for the bugless, fast Kd-tree.

Cb for non iterative wall smoothing.

Rozu for the precise prediction code.

Chase-san for the intercept method I used in my PPMEA calculations.

AW for giving me the idea of using the integral of the danger function.

Strategy

How does it move?

True Surfing

How does it fire?

It uses GuessFactor with KNN

How does it dodge bullets?

Tries to minimize the number of guess factors it gets hit by based on their weights and damage.

How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?

It doesn't support melee yet.

How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?

It doesn't support melee yet.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Between rounds it saves the kd-trees. Between matches it doesn't save anything.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

It just popped into my mind and I thought it would be a proper name for a bot with Machine Learning.

Can I use your code?

Yes, I tried to make the code as clean and understandable as possible.

What's next for your robot?

Better Bullet Shadow Calculations

Tuning the guns since they haven't been tuned since the first version

Gun Heat Waves

Precise MEA for movement

Maybe a pre-trained movement or gun to use in the first ticks of the battle

Succeed at not forgetting to put protection against Bullet Shielders in the next version

Does it have any White Whales?

Bullet Shielders but that issue should be solved soon.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

It's kind of based on WhiteFang, I have tried to copy the design but make it as precise as it can be.
