Wallaby/VersionHistory

Wallaby 5.1 Size: 747 (success)

• removed the 'coward' movement - back to somewhat aggressive setup
• change of the random movement component. Smaller code size and better randomization straight from the start
• Version Info: i guess this one is the last Version of Wallaby and i will declare him finished.
• MicroMeleeRumble ‒ APS: 69.02% (1st), PL: 134-0 (1st), Survival: 94.18%

Wallaby 5.0 Size: 747 (fail)

• This time full coward setup, 65k force 400 distance
• new ram bot reaction
• fixed a radar issue - sitting duck (rare) if i got rammed
• MicroMeleeRumble ‒ APS: 68.42% (1st), PL: 135-0 (1st), Survival: 94.39%

Wallaby 4.9 Size: 747 (fail)

• movement enhanced by bringing in the isClose feature, now it fits the code size
• even more aggressive with 35k combat force
• adjusted the bullet power function because of code size restrictions (i just have to find 2 bytes more to bring it back)
• Version info: this one had a quite mysterious rumble score, after 11k/5k/3k battles it was way ahead of every previous version but 3k battles latter it lost 0.4% score, maybe it was an rumble issue or just bad luck. My RoboRunner test also told me that this one is probably the best so far .. maybe i should give it later another try, just to be sure
