Background

Computer guy; I periodically turn to RoboCode when the itch strikes.

Bots

SynapticBot

I submitted j.SynapticBot 2+ to the original rumble in the beginner class. SynapticBot reached the semi-finals [1], where it was bested by Ares, the Beginner class winner. Overall, it ranked 5th in the Beginner class.

More information on implementation details is at the SynapticBot main page.

Watermelon

Watermelon is retired now; it provides the foundation for Geomancy.

Geomancy

My last complete bot is Geomancy. It uses autoselected segmentation for surfing and shooting. It was also released as part of GeomancyBS in collaboration with Rsim.

Giskard

Development rewrite of Geomancy from the ground up. I've learned a lot about Java with Geomancy and I think I can rewrite its basic structure in a way that will make further development much simpler.

Aeolipile

Doesn't exist yet, but if I ever make a mini, micro, or nano, this will be its name.
