Talk:YersiniaPestis

This was supposed to be my Melee bot, but to transform 2nd places into 1st place it was needed a good OneOnOne code. So I ended up improving only the WaveSurfing, I wasn't going to release it yet, but the tests results were so good I had to see it in the rumble. --zyx 09:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh oh, my Pallas took similar ideas to you, difference weighting. But I'm going to the way of dynamic weighting and dynamic cluster size, too.

DrussGT made me use Simonton's tree, some of the parameters when creating the trees or clusters are from him.

Me too. I learn the way of use it from DrussGT, but the main reason is Shadow use it =)

One more question, you said it melee bot, but with DC-GF? » Nat | Talk » 12:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

I meant to start as a Melee bot, but I have only done the OneOnOne part of it. But in any case, the melee gun will be a DC-GF it just need a different approach than the current gun. --18:32, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Very nice looking score there, can't wait to see how it's ranking stabilizes! I really need to get SapphiricMuse working and out there before before you overtake RougeDC :) --Rednaxela 21:16, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, well I don't think it will move much more, so RougeDC seems to be safe :p. But FastTrig will let me do many things I couldn't because of skipped turns, soyour about to hang yourself, I just don't know if I'll have time soon to work on Robocode. --zyx 00:02, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey, you won Phoenix!!! Hope you will win Shadow sometimes, currently 49.11% Cheer! You'll be in TopTenDCParty in short. One more, what timezone do you in? I've edit conflict right now but I think I've unique timezone that almost no robocoder online while I'm online. » Nat | Talk » 00:07, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

It can beat Shadow sometimes, but it seems too dependent on how the first one or two battles turn out, and how many BulletHitBullet events happen, which seems to be the event that helps my movement the most. My TimeZone is GMT-4, so right now is 8pm, perfect time, but I have a unique timezone, because I tend to stay up all night and go to sleep at 6 or 7 am :S, I'm a night person :). --zyx 00:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Congratulation! You have enter The2000Club! I've take a screenshot for you: [1] » Nat | Talk » 01:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

:-) Thanks. --zyx 02:39, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean? "howto borrowed fro Nat" ??? » Nat | Talk » 03:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

• I'm really dumb when it comes to web/Wiki stuff, so I copied how to link a subpage('''[[/VersionHistory]]''') from BlackHole :-). And also little ideas on how to organize the version history info. --zyx 07:58, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

• Er, btw I see your signature was a little odd there. You may already know this, but just to double check, are you aware that you can just type --~~~~ to automatically get a nicely formatted/dated signature? --Rednaxela 08:08, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
• Hehehe, yes you already showed me :-). This happened to me before, but this time the edit was so small I didn't preview it, it's an extra ~. Thanks --zyx 08:51, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
• Do you mean 5 ~? like --~~~~~? I recently think that you just blankout your Nickname. (I sign this post with 5 ~) Nat --10:21, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
• For me 5~ prints --> --15:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC), and 4~ prints --> --zyx 15:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
• Also, interestingly, 3~ prints --Rednaxela. 2 and 6 don't do anything though. --Rednaxela 16:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
• You will found that 3~ prints and 4~ prints are documented on MediaWiki Documentation, but I don't found document on 5~print somewhere. Now I sign with --~~~ ~~~~~ » Nat | Talk » 01:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Very impressive PL score with 0.1beta Zyx! Poor RougeDC getting knocked back in rank... I really hope I find time to get my next bot up there beating any of the old stuff... :-) --Rednaxela 04:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks, although I don't know what the PL Score is. I'm sure you will. --zyx 05:56, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• The PremierLeague (see http://robowiki.net/cgi-bin/robowiki?RoboRumble/PremierLeague old wiki page) score where you get 2 points for every enemy you have over 50% against, 1 point for every one you have exactly 50% against, and 0 points for every one you have less than 50% against. It's nice for measuring how few bots yours loses to, and YersiniaPestis loses to very few even compared to other high ranking bots :) --Rednaxela 06:49, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Really? I think the it isn't exactly 50%, I think I get 2 points from >60%, 1 point from <60% && > 40%. » Nat | Talk » 08:00, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oh I see, I saw that page on the old wiki, but I didn't know it was actually taken into account. Well when I started Robocode my main goal was to not lose against most bots because I thought that was the actual ranking, and I don't like loosing :-). --zyx 14:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Well that's not directly used in the APS/ELO/Glicko scoring columns, but that is the whoe point of the PL score column which you can click to have it order by. Counting ties as a single rank, and presuming DrussGT's new version moves back to where the old one was: "YersiniaPestis 0.1beta" ties for 5th place in PL, with my "RougeDC balance" tied for 6th in PL just one win behind YersiniaPestis. Both of our bots get beat by Dookious/Shadow/Ascendant/DrussGT, YersiniaPestis gets beat by Tigger/WeeksOnEnd/Locke, and RougeDC gets beat by SandboxDT/Chalk/Phoenix/YersiniaPestis. What's amusing though is by how huge a margin that Dookious/Shadow/DrussGT cream RougeDC, yet YersiniaPestis only looses by a smallish margin. In other words... while RougeDC may be ahead in the main rankings, YersiniaPestis seems to be in the lead when it comes to fighting other high-ranking bots. :-) --Rednaxela 15:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
• I had already realized that the Rank column came from APS so I started improving APS instead of PL, around Newton 2.1 (Newton 2.0 was much better I'd guess(didn't really check since didn't know the meaning) in PL that 2.1, but was way lower on Rank). Now that I know what PL means it will be much easier for me to check, I used to go in the bot's detail and see the Pairings Won % as my second measure of how good it was, but I had to compare only a few bots since it can be sorted by that, but sorting by PL should be the same and now I can check it on one click :-). About good bots and lower ranking, I'm currently trying to improve my surfing to be better against simpler bots, and your reasoning is the same I had, YersiniaPestis is very good against top bots but is not getting enough kick out the simpler targeting systems. The problem is that is hard to improve one thing and keep the other, I have a surfing that can get nearly 100% against HOT, Linear and Circular, but it performs way worse against the top bots, and maybe it can improve the ranking, but I don't want to loose points against to top bots, I even have more satisfaction from seeing the top bots have a hard time :-) --zyx 19:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
