I use Simonton's KDTree for Dynamic Clustering. I modified it to accept 'dynamic' weighting. If I have add a 'hit' dimension to my movement and weight it 100 when in normal situation and weight it 0 (not take into account) when go for flattener, will it work? » Nat | Talk » 11:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

It would work, except keep the following in mind: When 'hit surfing' you always want to record the exact direction the bullet was aimed in, whereas with 'flattener surfing' you should only record the center of where your bot was, so you probably should store two seperate values in entries where you get hit: one for the enemy's bullet aim and one for the center of where your bot is.

I also have one other note: You say on the page "3 KDTrees", actually you could probably just do with 1 tree, which would save you CPU and memory: For the first two guns there you only need to do one kd-tree lookup, and just make your data contain information in both GF and 'play-it-forward' mode. For the third mode, you could just do a second kd-tree lookup with different weightings fed in. --Rednaxela 18:02, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
