Wow, you made that look easy. =) No updates for years and then 100 points in one jump. Good luck with those last few points between you and the NanoBot throne! --Voidious 17:53, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

My changes were rather lame. I looked at the top 5 bot's source codes and mismashed things around a bit and got a bot that's about 90% NeophytePattern 1.0 and 10% my own code. I'll be making another pass through it in the next few days to see if I can make it more unique more effective. The only justification I have is that I completely understand every line of code and why it was done - and that Nanos have always been about borrowing innovations from each other and giving credit where credit is due. --Miked0801 22:26, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh no! I think I am needed to work my OcnirpSNG again. I think NeophytePattern is the easiest of Neophyte series (Id o understand it, along with NeophytePRAL, but I never understand NeophyteSRAL) Yes, nano always beem about borrowing each other code, sometimes without credit. The best gun in nano is pattern matcher (if you don't count PRAL and SRAL), since since Simonton do reduce the codesize most, now every top seven nanobot, exclude PRAL and SRAL, do use Simonton's pattern matcher gun Yes, NeophytePattern borrowed WeekendObsession gun. I too borrowed it. Robar first borrow FunckyChicken, but later replace by WeekendObsession's since it smaller.

Taking for your version history: "I'm just taking tem and playing with them a bit to see if I can improve them or find any extra code space." :I bet you can't find any extra spaces. Neophyte series are super optimized for codesize. If you want to improve it, you may want to borrow BlackWidow instead. It has a LOT of room left (it contains 15-byte color too) » Nat | Talk » 23:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I made a pass through a stelo bot that had a nano-sized wave matcher and almost peed myself. I'm trying to compress that code now. --Miked0801 03:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

BTW, it is because nanos are almost all open source that they have progressed as fast as they have in skill. You should have seen how lame the original bots were way back when. Somewhat linear aim with crappy radar and wall death common. Then Infinite radar, then perfect linear, then rolling average linear, then circular-like linear, then pattern matcher. The latest bots are top 30% bots. That is absolutely amazing to me. --Miked0801 03:16, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
