Possible errors

I still see low scores such as %5 against some bots and it seems like it isn't about the crowd part. I tried to fix it two times and it didn't work. I also tried to reproduce the error but it doesn't occur in my robocode 1.9.3.0. I didn't change anything but the normalised crowd thing. I would see if there was any IndexOutOfBounds Exception or Arithmetic Exception.

Don’t worry, ScalarBot is having the same bug, e.g. it scores near 0% against some opponents, which is never reproduced even after thousands of rounds.

Anyway, if that happens too much, you can try to catch every exception and log it to file, then look up the low scored opponents in the log. ScalarBot fixed a really rare bug in kd-tree by doing so.

Anyway, it still scores very low against some bot randomly, without throwing any exceptions,

I think I should worry. In my tests it does better than my normal gun but in the rumble it has about -3 APS. May it be the bug fixed with 1.9.3.0?

I got this exception after some testing.

This is a bug in Rednaxela’s kd-tree. I created a PR to fix it in his bitbucket a few years ago, but no response.

IIRC, This bug happens when points are so concentrated that spliting happens more than once in one call, which is not considered at all. That’s why it happens so rarely, and only with some set of dimensions.

Sorry for answering late; I actually wrote an answer but I suppose there was a problem with Wi-fi. WhiteFang has already started to use it and there is also range search in your tree which is wonderful.

What my tree doesn't have is the nearest neighbor iterator feature, where much of the cost of searching is deferred to the iteration over the results so if you don't need all the points it doesn't need to do a full search. This could be added, but would be fairly tricky.

If there are any other things you think my tree really needs, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Only thing I'm not interested in at the moment are balancing, and reclaiming memory from removing points.
