BerryBots demo
Figured I'd take this to a separate thread. =) Posted another couple of vids with progress on the Raspberry Pi game I'm working on.
Still a lot to do but I think it's coming along pretty well.
Man, you are totally of the hook :). Looks indeed very neat. The race looks and sound as it could provide a lot of fun and maybe some nice pathfinding programming.
Well done!
(Sorry, gotta take this back to LiquidThreads.. =))
If anyone's curious, here's some TPS measurements (with graphics off) of Lua vs LuaJIT on the Raspberry Pi and my 2009 MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz. RandomBot is a trivial bot like sample.Crazy, BasicBattler is a slightly non-stupid bot with a simple Minimum Risk movement and random linear gun.
- 2x BasicBattler
- Rpi Lua: 343
- Rpi LuaJIT: 632
- MBP Lua: 5967
- MBP LuaJIT: 19101
- 8x BasicBattler
- Rpi Lua: 44
- Rpi LuaJIT: 88
- MBP Lua: 766
- MBP LuaJIT: 2377
- 2x RandomBot
- Rpi Lua: 782
- Rpi LuaJIT: 1053
- MBP Lua: 17781
- MBP LuaJIT: 28154
- 8x RandomBot
- Rpi Lua: 119
- Rpi LuaJIT: 182
- MBP Lua: 2429
- MBP LuaJIT: 4159
Obviously the LuaJIT is far superior in speed.
LuaJIT vs Lua
- 2xBB
- RPI: x1.84
- MBP: x3.2
- 8xBB
- RPI: x2
- MBP: x3.1
- 2xRB
- RPI: x1.35
- MBP: x1.58
- 8xRB
- RPI: x1.53
- MBP: x1.71
Even considering a margin of error, it seems the x86/amd64 version is either more mature or has a more leverage-able machine code (assuming your mac book is intel rather then PPC based).
It seems to scale up on complexity. Be it more bots or more complex bots.
