Background

I'm (current year - 1977) years old and work as a software developer in Salt Lake City, Utah. Started robocoding in 2007 after a co-worker suggested having a Robocode tournament at work after a long, painful software release cycle. Apparently, I was more interested than the rest of the company; the bot I built (and am still working on in my copious spare time) seems to have scared everyone else off. I have a fledgling blog to which I (very) occasionally post.

My bots

• PluggableRobot: A robot framework that provides a pluggable architecture and sophisticated event management.
• RabidWombat: My first robot, built on top of the PluggableRobot framework. A bit too rough yet to release into the wild.

So, um, yeah, it's been far too long since I worked on coding tanks. I'm making some improvements to PluggableRobot, such as reworking the debug graphics code (especially since changes to Robocode made it stop working). After that, I need to dig into why RabidWombat isn't firing where it thinks it's firing.
