Background Information
What's special about it?
Nothing really special, but it is a culmination of the work laid out by former and current Robocode authors.
How competitive is it?
Currently ranked lucky #13 in NanoRumble.
Strategy
How does it move?
Uses a near copy of NeophytePRAL's movement without the "non-random" factor.
How does it fire?
It uses Pattern Matching.
How does it dodge bullets?
Stop and Go energy drop, switches between One-Way and Two-Way Oscillation when hit.
Additional Information
Where did you get the name?
Meroka is a CIWS, I think from Spain.
Can I use your code?
All good!
What's next for your robot?
This has probably reached its peak without the use of look-up tables.
Does it have any White Whales?
It doesn't have any particular weaknesses, but it scores lowest against GateKeeper.
What other robot(s) is it based on?
A study of movement from NeophytePRAL and Pattern Matching from [[Foilist], WeekendObsession and Yatagan.
And of course, even if I'm "late in the game" I'd still want to give a huge thank you to all the contributors on the wealth of information on both Old and Current RoboWiki.
