BATTLESPERBOT setting
← Thread:Talk:RoboRumble/Contributing to RoboRumble/BATTLESPERBOT setting
We're (finally) getting our internet sorted tomorrow so I should be able to start running more battles again soon. Is there any reason I shouldn't set BATTLESPERBOT to something higher to get some of the newer melee bots caught up a bit?
Surely you can set this variable as large as possible, since most bots already had way more battles than this value. And there could be a pull request to robocode to change the default settings.
That's what I figured but I didn't want to be the person who screwed up the results and forced them to be recalculated from scratch so figured I'd check with those who know better than I do. Looks to me like a default of 100k wouldn't be unreasonable for melee. Not sure about duels, maybe 30k?

If I recall correctly, even if all bots have more than BATTLESPERBOT battles, bots with less battles get some priority. An other priority is 'old' battles (where f.e. the last battle is from 2020) even if those bots have a lot of battles. Also if I recall correctly, in melee there is some protection to prevent battles between only 'new' bots, I think only 1 new bot per battle and the rest quite randomly. Setting the BATTLESPERBOT higher does not influence this. Ofcourse bots with incomplete battles always get the highest priority.
