What I Would Do Is Compare Diamond To Linio Bot And DrussGt To Linio Bot For all the versions
i've noticed something veni vici sine videri = I came to the street without being seen. linio= Smear Plaster Seal Erase Befoul Overlay He's SkillGannon or Rednaxela Also The Console Output Is Similar to DrussGT And I Found This https://github.com/L1ni0/rcb-bin
No, that's not what "veni vici sine videri" means. It isn't actually proper latin, but I'm pretty sure he wanted it to say: "I came, I conquered, I was not seen." We have no evidence that he is AGS or JK. The github account lists his name as James Zhang, which is also the name he gives in his copyrights. He seems to have taken AP comp sci in 2010, so I would estimate that he is in his early twenties. (This, by the way, is why you try to put as little information as possible online). It would be nice if you used the '.' character to separate sentences. Also, please think more and talk less, it's a good rule for life.
Also, Tmservo, please use a consistent capitalization style. I would understand if you were using a small keyboard and you found it easier to leave some words lowercase, but your sentences tend to have many unnecessarily capitalized words as well. Here[1] is a guide which should help clarify when you should capitalize words.
L1ni0 isn't me, that's for sure. Also, jcz.linio.Linio is definitely based off of DrussGT, both gun and movement. I can recognize class names - PlaceTime (movement), StoreScan (gun), and even more damning, my utils class was just renamed from JKUtils to JKLUtils (JK is my initials, and my package name). However, no credit is given, and the bot is not open source, violating the licence which DrussGT is released under. I'm afraid if we don't see some source code I'm going to have to request that it is removed from the rumble.
Not only that, but it really isn't fair to those who have written their bots from scratch to simply take the top bot, rename and remove some components and release it as your own into the rankings.

SPCS refers, I believe, to Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies, as per here.
While I actively encourage people to read my code, understand my code, learn from my code and even use my code (in small portions), what I can't stand is people passing my code off as their own. As much as I appreciate the complements given to DrussGT and my GoTo surfing algorithm, the fact that even the class names remain the same doesn't give me much hope as to their contents.
I don't want to ruin somebody's life over copying code, particularly when dealing with a prestigious opportunity like SPCS seems to be. That being said, I'd really like Linio to be open source, and to be honest I'd prefer if my buffering systems, targeting weights, two-wave goto surfing and precise intersection code was understood and re-implemented, rather than copied. I'm sure those of you who have bots lower in the rankings feel annoyed as well.
I admit that this bot is structurally based on DrussGT, yet I did do my own tinkering with it. I am doing a reimplementation of it and will post it when it is ready. I apologize for taking the code without previously asking for permission.
And just in case you think I submitted Linio as my SPCS final project. I did not. I could send you the code I used for my project. It was, I guarantee, completely my own.
