What's special about it?

It's my attempt at a semi-good Wave Surfing movement

Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

Currently, there isn't a download link

How competitive is it?

Against DustBunny 3.8, without shooting, does fairly well. The current results are:

1st	hackhalotwo.GravityWave	18004 (73%)	13050	4950	0	0	4	0	495	5	0
2nd	mld.DustBunny 3.8	6612 (27%)	250	50	6269	40	2	0	5	495	0

The tests I do are here.

Strategy

How does it move?

Using BasicSurfer as a base, and later on, using Anti-Grav for finer movements.

How does it fire?

It's a non-firing robot

How does it dodge bullets?

The BasicSurfer detection algorithm (working on expanding it)

How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?

Not sure, never tested it.

How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?

First one seen I guess

What does it save between rounds and matches?

It saves between rounds currently.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

GravityWave is basically a mix of WaveSurfing and Anti-Gravity.

Can I use your code?

It will be in GITS when a good stable version comes out
