Hi, I have an idea for a bullet shadowing wave surfer robot but I don't really know how to get started. Could someone point me to a relatively easy to understand wave surfer that implements bullet shadows into its danger prediction? Thanks in advance!
Implementing bullet shadow in wave surfer is very easy; just set danger covered by shadow to 0
however, calculating bullet shadow is not trivial
the first bot featuring this technique is Diamond, and it’s open source!
Just have a look at it, you’ll know that better.
- Both Diamond and Gilgalad use bullet shadows but IIRC Gilgalad's code was optimized for speed and made it harder to understand.
- If you plan on using bullet shadows with bins(Slightly less effective), both DrussGT and WhiteFang use it.
- DrussGT calculates all the shadows before hand while WhiteFang calculates them when the bullet overlaps the wave(Easier to implement and shorter code).
- BTW, anybody setting wave dangers as done below?
Position danger = (bulletPassed ? 1: chanceOfBulletCollision) * dangerWithoutShadows
