Strategy

How does it move?

GoTo Surfing.

How does it fire?

A gun that fires a wave every tick and uses PIF.

How does it dodge bullets?

GoTo surfing now because I couldn't improve No-Bullet Surfing.(First surfing type of WhiteFang and can be seen at 1.0.6)

"A WARNING about 1.0.6 if you don't change getTime()(in the scannedRobotEvent after the array lists) with turn it won't work as it needs to be.

How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?

It gets closer to the walls. There is no melee radar.

How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?

The first enemy it sees.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Everything I guess

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

From a book named "WhiteFang".

Can I use your code?

I want people to use their own ideas. Also it is very messy.

What's next for your robot?

Improving the targeting system and making it more different from PIF and PM. Making a Fire Power selection system because I lose too many rounds because of high fire power.

Does it have any White Whales?

BasicGFSurfer. I know that it's ranking is at least 100 higher than me but it is so simple.

I mean the movement. WhiteFang's gun is better than BasicGFSurfer's gun.

The reason why BasicGFSurfer's Movement is strong is surfing type it uses. True Surfing.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

It is not based on any robot. Thanks to Beaming and Skillgannon for helping me to getting into the competition and for the TUR flag(Skilgannon). Sorry for writing SkillCannon: my computer did that.

Problems

"Movement uses the same code with the gun but it's not very good."
