Common Targeting Methods in NanoRumble

I'll see if I have space =) Do you think I should do the random factor after it dies too much or gets hit too much by bullets? I saw BlackWidow changes after two deaths. Thanks!

It is better if you do it with deaths as it is easier to keep track of. Also, the number of bullets is a little inconsistent as it depends on how well the enemy dodges your shots.

Oh! I just had an idea for a melee robot. It would use fluid movement and stop and go, since most melee bots use HOT, linear, or circular targeting! I think I'll make a nanobot with the stop and go, and then expand it into a micro melee robot.

I think my robot will add the random factor after 3 deaths. I may need to add some energy management to stop it from disabling itself and losing rounds. Thanks!

You can always use RoboRunner or RoboJogger to fine tune those parameters. I have no idea about melee strategies though, the best I could get is 127th place which I am sure WhiteFang which is a 1v1 only robot would easily pass.

I would say top 10 as you are already close to top 20.

I just realized how much I forgot about Robocode API. I had to take a look at WF's radar code to code one that works =)

Anyways, get prepared for Partial(Lame name, I know) entering the minirumble.

Yay! The race is on =)
