Hi. Has somebody an idear how to make this smaller. I need the max bearing difference between all enemys. My gut feeling says it should be easier, but i can't see it.
private void calcBearingDiff()
{
if (myScans.isEmpty()) return;
Comparator<ATarget> compi = new Comparator<ATarget>()
{
@Override
public int compare(ATarget a, ATarget b)
{
double eAbsBearA = a.getBearing() + myRobot.getHeadingRadians();
double eAbsBearB = b.getBearing() + myRobot.getHeadingRadians();
return Double.compare(eAbsBearA, eAbsBearB);
}
};
ArrayList<ATarget> enemys = new ArrayList<ATarget>(myScans.values());
Collections.sort(enemys, compi);
enemys.add(enemys.get(0));
ATarget last = null;
for (ATarget target : enemys)
{
if (last != null)
{
double eAbsBearingA = last.getBearing() + myRobot.getHeadingRadians();
double eAbsBearingB = target.getBearing() + myRobot.getHeadingRadians();
double diff = Utils.normalRelativeAngle(eAbsBearingA - eAbsBearingB);
// .... sort out the max
}
last = target;
}
}

Thanks Chase. ATarget is a comparable but for other stuff. What i was looking for was something around another data structur. The above code snippet is way to much code for my taste. I thougth about to register the next ATarget on every ATarget and then simple ask the difference but it didn't work very well because i had to reorder the references to much. I'm looking for something that can handle ... update ATarget ... sort out the closest (bearing) ATarget ... and give the difference back ... I think i have to find a appropriate List/Tree structure for this.
Hmmm... what are you trying to use this for? I don't think I quite understood the question. Are you trying to get the biggest angle between any two in consecutive radial order? Or the one which is the closest to 180 degrees from it?
Maybe this picture can explain what i need. As you can see the white lines are the absBearing to every enemy and the transparent white area is the area from the two enemys who have the widest bearing to each other. I need this for my radar and my movement.
And yes i need the biggest angle between two in radial order (i guess :)). Nevermind the blue and green lines they are for something else.
I'm not sure, that i correctly understood your question and that its algorithm is completely correct, but idea must work, i think
double minAbsBearing = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
double minRelBearing = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
double maxRelBearing = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for (ATarget target : enemys) {
double absBearing = ...; // me.angleTo(target) in my case
double relBearing = Utils.normalRelativeAngle(absBearing);
if (relBearing < minRelBearing) {
minAbsBearing = absBearing;
minRelBearing = relBearing;
}
if (relBearing > maxRelBearing) {
maxRelBearing = relBearing;
}
}
double widestArea = maxRelBearing - minRelBearing;
double startAngle = minAbsBearing;
double endAngle = Utils.normalAbsoluteAngle(minAbsBearing + widestArea);
You nailed it mate. Thanks. Looks like i was totaly looking at the wrong direction. But at least my gut was right :). Man this is even smaller than i hoped for.
You are welcome, but this code would not work:) Now I have no time to describe why (writing on english is difficult for me), but try to test different cases and you will easy understand the problem.
I also thought there might be some issues at certain angles with the single loop approach.
I think you need to take a <math>n^2</math> approach, ie, a loop within a loop. Otherwise you need to use a sorting technique (with nlogn), then a single loop. Here is pseudocode:
initialise min_sum = Inf For each bot, b: me_b = find the angle from me to b initialise min_rel = Inf, max_rel = -Inf. for each bot c, excluding b: me_c = find the angle from me to c rel = the relative angle between me_b and me_c if rel < min_rel, min_rel = rel. if rel > max_rel, max_rel = rel. sum = max_rel - min_rel if sum < min_sum, min_sum = sum, min_ang = me_b + min_rel, max_ang = me_b + max_rel.
The other approach would be to sort all the angles into radial order, then go through looking for the largest space between two angles, and then use the opposite part of the circle. So in pseudocode:
for each bot, b: me_b = angle from me to b angles[i++] = me_b sort_ascending(angles) max_rel = abs(relative_angle(angles[0] - angles[angles.length - 1])) min_angle = angles[0] max_angle = angles[angles.length-1] max_index = 0 for(i = 1; i < angles.length; i++) rel = abs(relative_angles(angles[i-1] - angles[i])); if rel > max_rel max_rel = rel min_angle = angles[i] max_angle = angles[i-1] max_index = i
Yes Jdev you are right it does not work for all angles and i was aware of that. But it pushed me into another direction to think about it. If the bot stays almost ever on the edge or corner of the battlefield your code works very well i get some really impressive average visit counts with my radar.
Thanks Skilgannon your first approach looks interesting and i will give it a try. Haven't found the time for now. My first thougth to overcome the angle glitch was to throw in a signum() direction check and switch the angles if they don't fit. Don't know how to describe this and its again more of my gut feeling which tells me that this might work. I'm almost sure i did this once but lost it. The second one looks a little like my first try, not really sure about that to.
But anyway, thanks to both of you for bringing me out of my stubborn mind state.
Congratulations on a strong competitor to the micro melee field! It's certainly nice to see some activity there. Based on watching it in just a few battles, Wallaby seems to have an impressive melee gun. Good luck with your robots--CrazyBassoonist 14:21, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks mate. I'm a big fan of your robots and i hope i can give you a little challenge. It would be nice to see you coming back. If you look at the sources of wallaby you can see i used (stole) some stuff of your robots. And i deeply hope you are ok with this. Right now i'm working on a better movement and i think it can do well, its mainly a codesize problem. The gun has got also a little improvement and it should bring me a little closer to oog.melee.Capulet (hopefully :) ). Would be nice to have someone to discuss do/don't things for micro/nano melee.
Well if you want to talk about small bots or robocode in general, I'm open. I may not be coding actively right now(though we'll see if that continues...) but I do check the wiki frequently. As for using code from my bots, I'm perfectly okay with that in small amounts. However, I would encourage you to find your own ways of doing things; nothing I do is perfect(in fact it's usually the opposite) and most of my successes came from me trying out my own weird ideas instead of copying other bots. Once again, nice to see someone doing something exciting in one of my favorite fields:)
