Cunobelin/Version History

0.2.2: Codesize 1498

• Revert to 0.2.0
• Re-apply all the shrinking tricks I had to do for 0.2.1 and 0.3.0
• Make the gun no longer match across rounds, and start matching the moment it has enough data for an entire bullet-flight
• Fix a bug in the movement-offset function which has been there since 0.1.0, not sure how much of a difference it'll really make, but at least now "it works like it's meant to".

0.3.0: Codesize 1498 Score: 2103

• Back to 0.2.0
• Now surfs all waves in air as follows: For each wave travel in each direction until the wave hits, add respective dangers to each direction, move in the best direction! Creds for inspiration go to Simonton - I took a peek into WeeksOnEnd to try and figure out how he's getting such good MC results, and discovered he surfs all the waves! I didn't think it would be possible in a mini...
  • This turned out to be a bit of a flop. Some time in the future I'll see if I can fit proper, branch at each wave, surfing. Even if it means putting Waylander's gun back in, it might improve the surfing enough to be worth it.

0.2.1: Codesize 1499 Score: 2111

• No longer segmenting on distance
• Managed to squeeze another 3 bytes out of the precise prediction
• Added in a few niceties, like:
  • decreasing bullet power when the enemy has very low energy (less than 4)
  • only dividing the match length by 0.75 instead of 0.5
  • only starting with a match length the size of the number of scans I have this round (taken from the movement data)

0.2.0: Codesize: 1499 Score: 2114

• 0.1.4 but with the surfing fixed to use both the unsegmented and the segmented buffers, plus some dodgy shrinking techniques

0.1.4: Codesize: 1497

• Merge in Toorkild's gun, but have to simplify the surfing buffer to less dimensions
  • Accidentally packaged with only the main surfing buffer working, not the unsegmented buffer. Decided to release anyways as research.

0.1.3: Codesize: 1482

• Segmenting main surfing buffer on absolute acceleration instead of time-since-direction-change

0.1.2: Codesize: 1498

• Segmenting main surfing buffer on time-since-direction-change

0.1.1: Codesize: 1494 Score: 2059

• Fixed 1-off bug in the surfing
• Slightly less attack/retreat angle
• More dangerous to be close than before

0.1.0: Codesize: 1498 Score: 2014

• First release!
