Wave Surfing

So far I know a few robots use Precise Intersection in their wave surfing. Unfortunately their code is either too messy (Wintermute) or too granular (RougeDC) that I don't know which class to look. So I asked here. (Diamond is too new to look into for this)

Normally you surf waves 'till the wave passed centre of the robot. But with precise wave intersection, in order to gain pixel-perfect surfing, you need to surf the wave until they passed the robot. So if anybody does this or the other way? --Nat Pavasant 11:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I was planning to add all 3 to Wintermute, ie, branch when the wave first strikes, branch when the wave passes midway, and branch when the wave exits, but after adding in a stop branch for every tick on the second wave it was too slow to do that without skipping turns. I think it now branches at the mid-point only...--Skilgannon 13:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
