Easy Question?

Hi mates.

How to detect inactivity?

It sounded like an easy problem to solve but now i struggle with it for quite a while and i guess i ask a little around now.

My solution so far is - counting all energy drops of my bot and if the energy difference has a value of 0.1 the inactivity timer has kicked in. Well, it works not very well and is quite a lot of code to just detect inactivity. Wall hits and inactivity is something that does not work very well for now. Has anyone solved this problem or might have a simpler solution? Any ideas would be gladly appreciated.

If you ask - why does he bother with inactivity? - well, i have no answer that doesn't sounds nitpicking.

How about if they dropped 0.1 and you drop 0.1 in the same tick? That should cancel out most cases, except maybe extreme endgame. If they drop 0.1 several ticks in a row then you can be sure that they weren't just firing.
