That's great!

Never noticed that WhiteFang had BulletShielding before I tested it eventually using a traditional hot bot ;) Most successful shielders have virtual guns to simulate different targeting mechanisms, e.g. some are aiming one tick before fire, some are aiming in the right tick, both make shielding different.

I will add some virtual guns after I work on automatic tuning. I have a weird behavior with my shielding algorithm. Normally a bot should be able to move 1 unit forward in a tick but when I set the maximum limit of moving to 1 it shields worser. Also, I see EnergyDome not moving more than 0.2 and ShieldBot not moving more than 0.1. Why move 0.1 while it is possible to move more and have a wider shielded arc?

Because not everyone is firing HOT ;) We are cheating them.

I didn't understand, do you mean the bots which fire a wave every tick?

Close. For VCS bots, if you move too much, they have a chance of learning that tiny move and then failing your shield. For knn bots, linear/circular bots, similar thing apply.

Btw, it takes you 1 tick to move 1px, but 3 ticks to move 1px and go back. In contrast, it takes you 2 ticks to move 2/3px and back.
