It's great to see ScalarBot will enter melee as well. I'm excited, there are going to be some nice battles :)

Thanks ;) I'm also excited to see what's going on ;)

About skipping turns: I've had an issue I heavily skipped turns in RR@H but I could not reproduce it against some pre-defined battles I had. I could get some skipped turns only when I run the exact same battles I got skipped turns in RR@H, so I had to log the exact scenarios that led me to skipping that much turns. Yeah, it's weird, but that's what often happens in Robocode. At least it forced me to do a bunch of weird optimizations, and I'm still skipping a bunch of turns btw. I don't know if you are already doing that but I hope it helps anyway. Excited to see ScalarBot performing in melee!

Well, I thought that skipping turns could be avoided by not using full CPU to run rumble (leave a thread for GC, etc.), as it seems that I skip turns heavily (and randomly) against every bot (however I've examined only two bots which is selected randomly by rumble@home). I've been already doing weird optimizations everywhere, which destroys readability & extendibility.

Anyway, I've never verified that skipping turns could be avoided in any way. But anyway, being able to handle inconsistent scans always helps, that's why I decided a full rewrite.
