  • 1.361 - 9/11/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 85.39% (3rd), PL: 727-12 (9th), Survival: 93.12%
    • Reverted changes to my simpler / all-purpose surfing views. (In 1.36, all but the very simplest were changed to store a max of 40 scans and use the "smart cycling". Back to storing all scans.)
  • 1.36 - 9/10/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 85.09% (4th), PL: 731-11 (6th), Survival: 92.82%
    • Rollback to 1.342.
    • Lots of additions and changes to Wave Surfing views, especially recent and flattener scans.
    • Using "remove closest to new point" instead of "remove oldest" for all surfing views that cycle out old points (internally, I call this "smart cycle"). Anti-Surfer gun still using normal cycling.
  • 1.351 - 9/10/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.93% (4th), PL: 731-13 (6th), Survival: 92.54%
    • Tweaks to 1v1 wall avoidance: only look 4 ticks ahead; much tighter bound to wall considered a "wall hit" in predictions.
  • 1.35 - 9/9/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 85.4% (3rd), PL: 729-10 (8th), Survival: 93.11%
    • Added wall avoidance to Wave Surfing (to augment existing Wall Smoothing), so it should just about never hit walls any more.
  • 1.342DL - 9/9/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 85.3% (3rd), PL: 731-9 (6th), Survival: 92.86%
    • Gun from Dookious 1.573c.
    • Notes: Wow, Diamond's gun is stronger than Dooki's!
  • 1.342 - 9/9/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 69.44% (2nd), PL: 278-0 (2nd), Survival: 93.9%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes (from 1.34).
    • Revert bullet power changes.
  • 1.341 - 9/8/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 85.2% (4th), PL: 731-8 (6th), Survival: 92.79%
    • Anti-Surfer gun only collects data during 1v1 scenarios.
    • Fixed bug in melee gun introduced by 1.34 refactoring. (This was the actual cause of the melee skipped turns for 1.34.)
    • Misc tweaks to debugging graphics, mostly in gun.
    • When Virtual Guns ratings are high (1v1 only), fire higher power bullets.
  • 1.34 - 9/7/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 85.40% (3rd), PL: 735-6 (5th), Survival: 93.02%
    • Rollback to 1.33.
    • Added an Anti-Surfer gun (and Virtual Guns system).
    • Fixed a bug in the gun's wave collection affecting close range situations.
    • Notes: Skipping turns late in melee matches. I'll probably remove data collection for the Anti-Surfer gun except in 1v1.
  • 1.332 - 9/1/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.89% (4th), PL: 722-15 (12th), Survival: 92.66%
    • Added yet more views to Wave Surfing, tweaked some hit percentage thresholds.
    • Notes: It's remarkable how much the multiple views of 1.33 helped, yet how precisely similar 1.33/1.331/1.332 are with adding/tweaking the views further.
  • 1.331 - 9/1/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.85% (4th), PL: 724-14 (8th), Survival: 92.54%
    • Added a couple more views to Wave Surfing.
  • 1.33 - 8/31/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.9% (4th), PL: 719-18 (15th), Survival: 92.6%
    • Created a more robust system for handling multiple "views" of Wave Surfing stats. Converted and tweaked old (hard-coded) views to new system and added several more.
  • 1.323 - 8/30/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.29% (5th), PL: 718-21 (17th), Survival: 92.06%
    • Rollback to 1.32.
    • Fixed a bug in Wave Surfing danger calculation: when weighting scans by inverse scan distance, forgot to pass the weights, so was using unweighted distance.
  • 1.322 - 8/30/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.12% (6th), PL: 720-19 (16th), Survival: 91.83%
    • Changes to Wave Surfing:
      • When enemy hit percentage is above the threshold for which we add in recent scans, ignore all scans' distances from (i.e., similarity to) the current scan when calculating danger.
      • Remove duplicates between "all scans" and "recent scans" clusters (as in 1.274/1.275).
  • 1.321 - 8/30/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.39% (4th), PL: 719-21 (17th), Survival: 92.16%
    • In Wave Surfing, lowered hit percentage threshold for adding in extra recent scans.
  • 1.32 - 8/29/2009
    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.4% (4th), PL: 723-17 (13th), Survival: 92.22%
    • Tweaks to Wave Surfing attributes:
      • Against non-simple targeters, drop lateral velocity, add velocity and relative heading.
      • For relative heading, split into two values: lateral (sin) and advancing (cos) components.
      • Tweak all the weights.
    • Slightly more danger associated with moving closer to enemy.
  • 1.31 - 8/28/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 69.09% (2nd), PL: 275-1 (2nd), Survival: 93.84%
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 84.51% (4th), PL: 721-15 (12th), Survival: 92.4%
    • Slightly tweaked kernel density calculation in Melee gun. (Not much score change, but feels more right to me.)
    • Changed how Melee gun aims when it is hot (4+ ticks before firing):
      • 1.30 left the target selection code in place and aimed at that target with HOT when the gun was hot.
      • Now, completely ignore the target selection, and just aim at everyone every few ticks while the gun is hot.
  • 1.30 - 8/27/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 68.29% (2nd*), PL: 276-2 (2nd), Survival: 92.77%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Attempt at a Melee gun that targets everyone at once (a la Shadow/Melee Gun).
    • Notes: This is the second time I've tried to implement this, and I think this time I have it working right. It hasn't been producing incredible scores in my test bed, though, so I'm skeptical how well it will perform before I tweak it a bit more.
  • 1.29 - 8/26/2009

    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • For gun waves originating from enemies:
      • Don't fire from location of the enemy being targeted by the wave.
      • Calculate real wall distance, based on (enemy) wave source location. (1.283 just copied the wall distance values from the gun wave originating from Diamond.)
  • 1.283 - 8/23/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.45% (4th*), PL: 272-4 (4th), Survival: 91.41%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • During melee, fires and collects gun waves from locations of every enemy bot, not just from Diamond's location.
    • Increase weight of "number of bots alive" dimension in gun.
    • Add toggling of Radar, Movement, and Gun debugging graphics via keyboard input.
  • 1.282 - 8/22/2009
    • MeleeRumble ‒ APS: 67.31% (4th), PL: 272-4 (4th), Survival: 91.13%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Rollback to 1.272.
    • Changed melee gun to calculate distance and relative heading values relative to Diamond instead of relative to the closest bot to the target.

    • Movement:
      • Surf remaining waves in the air after enemy dies.
      • In calculating wave surfing dangers, change number of scans used from Math.min(scans, CLUSTER_SIZE) to Math.min(Math.ceil(scans / 5), CLUSTER_SIZE).
    • Gun:
      • Added accel dimension.
      • Gun heat dimension uses firing-tick gun heat instead of aiming-tick gun heat.
      • Always use gun heat = 0 when aiming.
      • Actually fixed the gun wave management issues found in 1.20*. (Mainly impacts melee.)

    • MeleeRumble - Not entered.
    • RoboRumble - Pulled
    • Reverted bullet power changes.

    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Only factor in perpendicularity and don't-be-targeted risk factors in certain situations (per-enemy).
    • Use cosine-based formula for perpendicularity. (I do it this way in BrokenSword, but thought of it as a code size trick. Recently concluded it's actually more correct anyway, as it models lateral velocity.)

    • Rollback to 1.122.
    • Myriad changes to Wave Surfing:
      • Tracking normalized enemy hit percentage as in Dookious, used for making lots of decisions.
      • For the recent scans taken into account, uses the last X hits instead of clearing the recent scans every few rounds. Also only enables this when enemy hit-% is above a certain threshold.
      • Distancing based on Dookious (instead of just using desired distance = 525 all the time).
      • Added a flattener, enabled with similar conditions to Dookious, but permanently enabled once it is enabled.
      • Against very simple targeters, only use 3 DC dimensions.

    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Rollback to 1.122.

    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Removed random direction change timer.
    • Tweaked risk from (Diamond's) recent locations.
    • Note: Best "bug-free" version in APS comparison. Only down .1% from 1.111 (w/performance enhancing bug), up .3% from 1.11 (bug fixed version). Good enough for me, so now I can move on with my life. =)
  • 1.114 - 5/25/2009

      • Fixed one more off-by-1 bug in the surfing (using my location from 3 ticks ago instead of 2).
      • Fixed the bandwidth used in kernel density calculations. (I'd set it to a static 0.1 as a placeholder, should be based on distance.)

    • Rolled back all movement changes from 1.03 and 1.04, except:
      • Greatly reduced weight of previously dominant anti-being-targeted factor.
  • 1.04 - 5/18/2009
    • MeleeRumble - APS: 65.48% (6th), PL: 258-4, Glicko-2: 1753.3, Survival: 87.91%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Myriad melee movement tweaks:
      • Tweaked reverse direction timer.
      • Added corner distance risk factor.
      • Greatly reduced weight of previously dominant anti-being-targeted factor.
      • Tweaked risk of enemies' recent locations: fewer, more recent points, much higher weight.
    • Risk evaluation debugging graphics now based off standard deviations, capped at -1.5/+1.5. A lot more meaningful (used to get many pure blue points when a few were super duper risky).
  • 1.03 - 5/17/2009

    • A bunch of gun tweaks, including a gun heat dimension (only used in 1v1), time since velocity change instead of direction change, and tweaked dimension weights.
    • Note: Didn't expect much rating change, but wanted to know that there wasn't, going forward.
  • 1.01 - 5/15/2009
    • MeleeRumble - APS: 65.76% (6th), PL: 260-3, Glicko-2: 1760.3, Survival: 88.55%
    • RoboRumble - No 1v1 changes.
    • Added factor for targeting bots near corners (to take their position).
    • Removed factor that favors spots where enemies will be non-perpendicular in risk evaluation.
    • Increased weight of damage-taken factor in risk evaluation.
    • Note: Despite lower ELO, was about .3% APS better than 1.0.
  • 1.0 - 5/14/2009
