View source for Help talk:Code Shrinking

The package is dsekercioglu.micro but it is a mini(856 bytes) right now. I am not very good at shrinking so can somebody help me please? Thank you.

To me it seems like you already shrinked the code quite well. There might be a few more tricks you could do, but I don't think you can get rid of over 100 bytes to make it micro. Maybe you can sacrifice some features, or take a look at some shrinking software, e.g. [1]

Thank you, It seems like it works but there is an error:

Could not find robocode/AdvancedRobot.class on Classpath
Could not find robocode/Condition.class on Classpath

I understood the error but not sure about what to do.

I am not sure either, I never saw this error before.

If it won't work, you could also try using other shrinking software, there are a lot of tools available.

First ideas:

You can use a simpler calculation for MEA.

Try compiling with JDK1.4, an old version of Robocode, and Jikes.

I've also used ProGuard to shrink Yatagan - it was a bit tricky to add the right stuff to the classpath and keep the right components 'open', but once it was set up it was easy.

That while (true) loop looks scary :P Pretty cool if it's working though. I am excited to hopefully see OculusMicro in the rumble soon :D

Have a look at RaikoMicro, which is full of tricks.

e.g., for waves, no ArrayList, use addCustomEvents instead.

Anyone with an idea?

Doesn't look like it could be shrunk much more from here without sacrificing features . . Not sure. There's some software on the internet though which might help.

Got it down to 259. Just use robocode.util.Utils.normalRelativeAngle( (code here) ) instead of importing files, and don't initialize i1 to 0 (The default value is already 0!)

I shrunk it to 253. Now I am using the thing you said about normalReativeAngle

It is 253 again =(

package dsekercioglu;

import robocode.*;

public class Hammer extends AdvancedRobot {

   public static int[] m = new int[10];
   public static int i1;
   public static String h = "��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������";

   public void run() {
       setTurnRadarRightRadians(Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY);
   }

   public void onScannedRobot(ScannedRobotEvent e) {
       double be;
       setTurnRightRadians((be = e.getBearingRadians()) + 1.5707963267948966D);
       setAhead((m[(i1 / 15)] % 3 - 1) * 36);
       i1 = (i1 + 1) % 150;
       be += getHeadingRadians();
       int a = (int) Math.round(e.getVelocity() * Math.sin(be - e.getHeadingRadians())) + 8;
       h += (char) a;
       double d;
       int b = (int) ((d = e.getDistance()) / 14);
       int matchi = h.substring(0, h.length() - b).lastIndexOf(a);
       for (int i = 1; i < b; i++) {
           be -= (h.codePointAt(matchi + i) - 8) / d;
       }
       setTurnGunRightRadians(robocode.util.Utils.normalRelativeAngle(be - getGunHeadingRadians()));
       setFire(2);
       setTurnRadarLeftRadians(getRadarTurnRemaining());
   }

   public void onHitByBullet(HitByBulletEvent e) {
       m[(i1 / 15)] += 1;
   }

   public void onHitWall(HitWallEvent e) {
       onHitByBullet(null);
   }

}

I have a question. I used byte instead of int(without any extra casting) it increased the code size 1 byte.
