- What's special about it?
- It's my first robot after a 9 year break!
- Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?
- https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1JJXM_mgPwxKVK0WDNpf92VUaMABv8bYl
- How competitive is it?
- Currently top 10 in the microrumble. Watch out! This is a very early version and it contains over 100 bytes worth of color changing code.
Strategy
- What is its basic strategy?
- Like its little brother Caligula, Claudius focuses on beating the very exploitable bots by as large a margin as possible at the expense of its matchup against stronger bots.
- How does it move?
- It has three movement modes. First it tries orbiting the opponent at full speed, then reversing direction on bullet fire, and if all else fails random movement.
- How does it fire?
- It uses a nano-sized symbolic pattern matcher.
- How does it dodge bullets?
- Claudius has what i suspect is one of the better bullet-dodging schemes in the micro division. It even simulates enemy gunheat to avoid being fooled by wall collisions.
- Is this robot melee-capable?
- Not in the slightest.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
- The only relevant information that it saves between rounds is the targeting log for its gun and which movement mode to use. It saves nothing between matches.
Additional Information
- Where did you get the name?
- Claudius was the next emperor after Caligula.
- Can I use your code?
- RWPCL
- What's next for your robot?
Lots of minor tweaking. The first version was written in an afternoon and went through very little refinement. Later on, I may try and upgrade the gun since there is quite a bit of codesize to spare.
- Does it have any White Whales?
- It's relatively weak gun means that it does poorly against bots strong enough to hit its first two movements and force it to move randomly.
