Credits give to
  • Skilgannon, for his DrussGT gun, which influenced me a lot, and for his wise advice to me.
  • Voidious, for his Diamond gun, which is extremely strong, pushing me to work on movement more and more. Some gun attributes are also inspired by Diamond.
  • Jdev, for his Tomcat movement, which is pretty unique, and its data analysis inspired me a lot as well.
  • Chase, for his Nene, which told me that a flattener or an Anti-Surfer Gun is not essential. Its movement (especially danger function) inspired me a lot as well.
  • Jamougha, for his RaikoMicro, strong GuessFactor Gun with strong Random Movement, which is my favorite bot to test with ;).
