User talk:BenHorner
The old wiki content is still available, but not so easy to access. Voidious posted a note somewhere about how to access it -- I can copy it over if you like. Talk pages are for comments, yes. You should also sign your posts, on this wiki you just need to put in four tildes (~~~~) and it'll add your name + timestamp. The rumble is definitely running but on a new server. See RoboRumble and Darkcanuck/RRServer for details. I also put a copy of most older bots on my webserver since the repository wasn't behaving: http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/robots --Darkcanuck 04:03, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

- Thanks for the info and the link(s). --BenHorner 21:52, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- I wouldn't mind having that link to the old wiki, or to the page that describes how to get there. I'm sure I put some stuff on there that I'd like to reread now. --BenHorner 00:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- There's some instructions on Talk:Migration#Now_at_RoboWiki.net. I will move the old wiki content to a subdomain at the new server. Actually, I already did, but last time I brought it up, the server ended up totally crashing. We had another bout of downtime after that, though, so maybe it wasn't really my fault - will be trying again soon. --Voidious 14:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
min/max/avg battle length (in turns/ticks)?
Can anyone give me a feel for how long battles average? I want to use an array list to keep track of the ticks as they go by, for the random access, but I'd rather not make it reallocate itself unnecessarily often, especially when it's big. Thanks for any help. --BenHorner 23:48, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Obviously it varies, but for 1v1, I usually ballpark it as 700-800 ticks per round. I think 25k in a 35 round battle is a good estimate. --Voidious 00:01, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
But for wave surfer battle, is usually over 1,000. I think it's around (for surfer) 1,300 - 1,500 ticks. » Nat | Talk » 11:53, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
So surfers get hit by bullets way less often? I'm really going to have to look into that sooner or later. --BenHorner 14:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
