Newest events first:
- Jan 29 2006 - Version 2.3 released - ? points
- Movement - Old Wave handling restored. No "artificial" wall-bouncing (yeah, I've tried that like 1000 times, but now it's time again).
- 82 bytes free
- Jan 28 2006 - Version 2.2d released - 1978 points
- Movement - Another test with simplified wave handling
- 60 bytes free
- Jan 27 2006 - Version 2.2c released - 1988 points
- Movement - Old Wave handling restored, still no stop-position evaluation
- 50 bytes free
- Jan 27 2006 - Version 2.2b released - 1978 points
- Movement - No stop-position evaluation and a lot of simplifications in Wave handling
- 82 bytes free
- Jan 26 2006 - Version 2.2 released - 1991 points
- Movement - Now evaluates stop-position in surfing. Wave danger not vanishing as fast with distance from Pugilist. (If these changes don't give me a rating boost I'll scrap them and use the saved 70 bytes I just found for something else.)
- Nov 24 2004 - Version 2.1.2 released - 1987 points and 100% wins in the PremierLeague
- Gun - Waiting for alignment before fire.
- Sep 2 2004 - Version 2.0.9 released - 1997 points
- Movement - Updating stats for passing waves, which should provide better performance. Though there's that strange bug that I haven't found yet...
- Sep 1 2004 - Version 2.0.8b released - 1967 points (Really, really strange. I think P has a big bug somewhere that shows itself very seldomly and this version had more bad luck than most of the others.)
- Movement - Fixed bug generating NaN danger values for passing waves.
- Aug 4 2004 - Version 2.0.8 released - 2004 points
- Movement - Higher initial values when updating the hit stats.
- June 15 2004 - Version 2.0.2 released - 1994 points
- Tweaked evasion angle and (enemy)wave impact distance
- June 14 2004 - Version 2.0.1 released - 1989 points
- More precise future position prediction
- Less special cases in the WallSmoothing (now down to one special case)
- May 26 2004 - Version 1.9.9.4.3 released - ? points
- Removed the last gun change since I obviously couldn't afford the effects of the new movement wave management.
- 45 bins for movement and gun waves
- Goes easier on the gun wall segmentation
- More precise factor-to-bin-and-back translation for the gun waves.
- May 26 2004 - Version 1.9.9.4.2 released - 1963 points
- Slightly different EnemyWave handling to save some 20 bytes for:
- Gun tweak from Kawigi's suggestion. (Let's hope the enemy wave management change doesn't bite me...)
- May 23 2004 - Version 1.9.9.4.1 released - 2008 points
- 1.9.9.4 movement and 1.9.9.8.1 gun tweak (Same gun as used in SilverFist and .p versions of Shadow and RaikoMX.)
- (Deferred) - Version 2.0 released (will be) - ? points
- Finally a true WaveSurfer. No wall bouncing ever, ever. Zero bytes left though...
- May 23 2004 - Version 1.9.9.8.2 released - 1977 points
- Back to gun wall segmentof 1.9.9.4 (checking if my "improved" wall smoothing algo might be losing me points.)
- May 22 2004 - Version 1.9.9.8.1 released - 1986 points
- Gun wall segment tweak in between 1.9.9.4 and 1.9.9.7
- Wall smoothing change. No more wall avoidance problems I hope.
- May 22 2004 - Version 1.9.9.7 released - 1997 points (Looks pretty funny, doesn't it?)
- Gun wall segmentation tweak.
- May 21 2004 - Version 1.9.9.4 released - 2001 points (At least after 699 battles, I missed what it was at 500)
- Gun segmentation tweaks.
- May 21 2004 - Version 1.9.9.1 released - 2004 points !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did it. Did it. Did it. YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
- Back to Aristocles gun
- May 21 2004 - Version 1.9.9 released - 1985 points
- Trying without the targeting bug om 1.9.7
- May 20 2004 - Version 1.9.7b.6 released - 1990 points
- Reinstalled the bug of 1.9.7 and tweaked it.
- May 19 2004 - Version 1.9.7b released - 1986 points
- Targeting bug fix of 1.9.7.
- May 18 2004 - Version 1.9.7.6 released - 1976 points
- Should be functionally equivalent to 1.9.7. Only slightly refactored to save me 19 bytes.
- Like 1.9.7 but with a combined last_velocity and wall segment dimension.
- May 18 2004 - Version 1.9.7.5 released - 1969 points (Either I introduced a but in the segmentation or I just can't afford the slower learning...)
- Like 1.9.7 but with a combined last_velocity and wall segment dimension.
- May 17 2004 - Version 1.9.7.1 released - 1989 points
- A little steeper in evasion
- Fires power 1.8 all of the time
- May 17 2004 - Version 1.9.8 released - 1975 points
- Lots of tweaks and changes everywhere... I might revisit them later since some of them probably was better than others.
- May 17 2004 - Version 1.9.7 released - 1992 points (Strongest yet, and it seems to have taken a firm hold on the minibot ranking #1 slot.)
- Recalled surfing tuning of 1.9.6
- Tuned wall smoothing
- Back to using calculated max_escape_angle
- May 16 2004 - Version 1.9.6 released - 1968 points
- Tuned surfing reverse and forward prediction
- Back to 1.9.4.3b segmentation
- May 16 2004 - Version 1.9.4.5b released - 1972 points
- Fixed bug with fast learning weight. Obviously some bugs should be left in. =)
- May 16 2004 - Version 1.9.4.5 released - 1979 points
- Segmenting on both last_velocity and wall (and distance and velocity too of course).
- Has a bug where fast learning (unsegmented) stats atre weighted too high.
- May 15 2004 - Version 1.9.5 released - 1980 points
- Applied some simple edge protection. Not a good idea it seems.
- May 15 2004 - Version 1.9.4.4 released - 1987 points
- Replaced last_velocity segment with wall segment
- Not caluclating max_escape_angle, just using 1.0. (Saves bytes, and shouldn't make a difference anyway.)
- May 15 2004 - Version 1.9.4.3b released - 1990 points
- Replaced movement wall segmentation with last_last_velocity and last_velocity
- Weight fast-learning stats by 1/num_segment_combinations like ABC has suggested.
- May 15 2004 - Version 1.9.4.2 released - 1986 points
- Back to good ol' gun segmentation
- Shortened blind-mans-stick to 0.3 radians
- May 14 2004 - Version 1.9.4 released - 1963 points
- Even more distance segment bins
- Fixed surfing bug
- May 14 2004 - Version 1.9.3.4 released - 1966 points
- One more distance segmentation bin and fewer of most other segmentation bins. Meant to speed up learning.
- May 14 2004 - Version 1.9.3.3 released - 1977 points
- Wall-bouncing at close ranges. Suggested by Axe.
- May 13 2004 - Version 1.9.3.2 released - 1958 points
- Using a rough estimate of the length of my WallSmoothing blind-mans-stick instead of a calculated one. Saves bytes and makes for a less stubborn behaviour when fighting at point blank range.
- May 12 2004 - Version 1.9.3.1 released - 1923 points
- Yet another try with pure surfing. (That is, no wall bouncing and such).
- May 11 2004 - Version 1.6.4.30b released - 1982 points
- Small gun tweak from 1.6.4.4
- May 7 2004 - Version 1.6.4.17 released - 1940 points
- May 7 2004 - Version 1.6.4.16 released - ? points
- 37 enemy wave stat bins
- Smoothing with Math.pow(distance, 1.5) (like SilverSurfer, though with much fewer bins)
- May 7 2004 - Version 1.6.4.15 released - 1929 points
- 17 enemy wave stat bins
- Gravitational smoothing
- (Yeah, like Shadow)
- May 7 2004 - Version 1.6.4.14 released - 1959 points
- 15 enemy wave stat bins
- No smoothing
- May 7 2004 - Version 1.6.4.13 released - 1955 points
- 9 enemy wave stat bins
- No smoothing
- May 6 2004 - Version 1.6.4.12b released - 1972 points
- 47 enemy wave stat bins
- May 6 2004 - Version 1.6.4.11 released - 1972 points
- No smoothing on gun stats
- Back to 27 stat bins
- May 6 2004 - Version 1.6.4.10 released - 1973 points
- Same as 1.6.4.9 but with:
- Edge smoothing protection
- Smoothed gun stats
- 47 stat bins (instead of 27) for both gun and movement
- Same as 1.6.4.9 but with:
- May 5 2004 - Version 1.9 released - 1914 points
- Movement:
- Linear bin smoothing
- Edge smoothing protection
- Iterated EnemyWave impact points
- Absolutely no wall bouncing! Pure WaveSurfing this time.
- Gun:
- Bin smoothing (with edge protection)
- Movement:
- May 5 2004 - Version 1.6.4.9 released - 1973 points
- Like 1.6.4.4 with linear distance smoothing. (Saves some bytes!)
- May 5 2004 - Version 1.6.4.8 released - 1967 points
- Like 1.6.4.4 with gravitational smoothing.
- May 4 2004 - Version 1.7.7 released - 1951 points
- Movemenet: Fast learning stats again, with low weights. And gravitational bin smoothing by suggestions from ABC
- May 4 2004 - Version 1.6.4.7 released - 1952 points
- Now weighting the stats based on enemy wave distance. Still no smoothing.
- May 4 2004 - Version 1.6.4.6 released - 1944 points (or there about, I recalled this version before it got 500 battles under its belt).
- Trying without smoothing the EnemyWave stats (not even weighting it for distance).
- May 4 2004 - Version 1.7.6 released - 1947 points
- 1.6.4.4 With fast-learning applied. (Or, I tried to apply it. I think I might be doing it the wrong way.)
- May 3 2004 - Version 1.6.4.5b released - 1975 points
- 1.6.4.4 with saved gun-data on some 30 opponents (couldn't fit more since the gun is heavily segmented). Obviously this data didn't make any difference at all.
- May 2 2004 - Version 1.6.4.4 released - 1975 points
- 1.6.4 with 39 bytes free and some really minor tunings.
- May 1 2004 - Version 1.6.4.2 released - 1951 points
- Lower granularity in the time-since-deccel and wall gun segments.
- May 1 2004 - Version 1.6.4.1 released - 1954 points
- Back to the 1.6.4 track. Now with a gun tuning added.
- April 30 2004 - Version 1.8.1 released - 1958 points
- Trying to predict the EnemyWave impact locations via iteration rather than the crude estimate I had before. Should make things much more accurate near walls. Though I don't know how to account for decceleration time this way yet...
- April 30 2004 - Version 1.6.7 released - 1973 points
- This is the same as 1.6.4 except I try to protect the edge smoothing a tad more.
- April 29 2004 - Version 1.7.2 released - 1962 points
- Since I'm desperate I decided to try with smoothed gun GFs as well. It only costs me 1 byte anyway so any rating points gained will be quite cheap. (Even if it is very unlikely I'll gain any points at all.)
- April 29 2004 - Version 1.7.1 released - 1967 points
- With both fast-learning mode and edge-smoothing protection activated.
- Strong but doesn't collect as much points as 1.6.4. Now it's something like a cross road for me where to take P...
- April 29 2004 - Version 1.6.6 released - 1963 points
- Back to using only lightly segmented EnemyWaves
- Trying without dealing with the edge smoothing problem. (If this doesn't give less point I'd say there is no "edge smoothing problem".)
- -10 points. I guess there really exist such a beast as the "edge-smoothing problem". Since I removed edge-smoothing protection in 1.7 this probably means that 1.7.1 (with fast-learning mode and edge-smoothing protection) should give me 1980+ points. I just must find 10 or so bytes somewhere...
- April 28 2004 - Version 1.7 released - 1969 points
- Now uses unsegmented EnemyWaves when there's no data in the segmented one.
- Starved on bytes agains. Only 2 left!
- April 28 2004 - Version 1.6.5 released - 1973 points
- Gun tuning (narrowed down the GF +/- 1 boundaries).
- April 28 2004 - Version 1.6.4 released - 1976 points
- Back to 1.5.6.2 EnemyWave segmentations (distance and fire power)
- Gun wall segment tweak.
- April 27 2004 - Version 1.6.3 released - 1959 points
- EnemyWave segmentation on distance, bullet power, velocity. Rough segments with few buckets.
- Doesn't win or lose one single rating point compared to unsegmented waves...
- April 27 2004 - Version 1.6.2 released - 1959 points
- Trashed the new gun segmentation. Makes me lose bigger against iiley's bots. But with that segmentation I obviously lost some against the rest making the end sum -4 or so points.
- Now trying totally unsegmented EnemyWaves.
- April 26 2004 - Version 1.6 released - 1959 points
- Threw in yet another segmentation for the gun. One which I don't think many WaveSurfers are using. Now I have exactly zero bytes left in this bot. Let's hope this segmentation doesn't work. =)
- April 26 2004 - Version 1.5.6.2 released - 1963 points
- Gun tweaks
- April 22 2004 - Version 1.5.6 released - 1932 points
- Removed wall segmentation from the EnemyWaves
- Increased the granularity of wall segmentation in the gun Waves.
- April 22 2004 - Version 1.5.4.1 released - 1930 points
- Fixed bug with array index out of bounds at extreme distances. Thanks to Axe for noticing that something was this wrong!
- April 21 2004 - Version 1.5.4 released - 1926 points
- A minor code restructure. Less code. Maybe less bugs...
- Mars 23 2004 - Version 1.5.3 released - 1918 points
- Another tuning.
- Mars 23 2004 - Version 1.5.2 released - 1855 points - recalled
- Tuning, tuning.
- Mars 21 2004 - Version 1.5.1 released - 1925 points
- Evades a bit steeper at close ranges.
- Mars 21 2004 - Version 1.5 released - 1923 points
- Just some minor tweaks.
- Should have started versioning 1.5.x with 1.4.5 actually.
- Mars 19 2004 - Version 1.4.6 released - 1921 points
- Yayalt. What happens if I switch off the flattener?
- Mars 19 2004 - Version 1.4.5 released - 1908 points
- Back to sloppy prediction.
- Fixed a bug with measuring delta bearing from the wrong origin.
- Mars 17 2004 - Version 1.4.4 released - 1890 points
- Back to 1.4.2 tuning.
- I bit less steep in evasion and instead generally backs away a little faster.
- Mars 17 2004 - Version 1.4.3 released - 1846 points
- Trying to make fewer untested assumptions...
- Mars 16 2004 - Version 1.4.2 released - 1874 points
- Tuned reverse and forward sensor placement.
- Mars 16 2004 - Version 1.4.1 released - 1893 points
- Same as 1.4 but without the flattener
- Fixed a bug with using the wrong distance measure for movement.
- Mars 16 2004 - Version 1.4 released - 1870 points
- Fixed a bug with using the wrong distance measure for movement.
- Switched on the flattener again
- Tweaked bin smoothing and distance to the reverse / forward sensors.
- Mars 13 2004 - Version 1.3.6 released - 1893 points
- I don't expect it to work. It's YAYALT
- Purely adaptive movement. (Removed the flattener.) This is beacause Jamougha told me to try get that to work first. Probably better against weak bots but worse against strong this way.
- No future position prediction. Now I just look ahead some 50 pixels and look backwards 2 pixels and see where I have least impact from a previous hit. Massive bin smoothing as per suggestion from rozu.
- Mars 11 2004 - Version 1.3.3 released - 1882 points
- Back to bin smoothing. But now linearly instead of using the square root of the distances.
- Some strategy tweaks too.
- Mars 11 2004 - Version 1.3.2 released - 1877 points
- Less of a GF1 spike by not bin smoothing the EnemyWaves. Doesn't perform on par with 1.3.1 though...
- Mars 10 2004 - Version 1.3.1 released - 1904 points
- OK. Big GF1 spike but I want to test the surfing board anyway. Surfing every wave now again.
- Mars 10 2004 - Version 1.3.1 near release
- RobocodeGLV014 has helped me big time to nail down seven (7!) bugs in my WaveSurfing.
- Struggling witha GF1 spike at the moment. But I might release it with this flaw. This gives me some room for improvement if nothing else. =)
- Mars 5 2004 - Version 1.3 released - 1651 points
- Had some MAJOR issues... http://rumble.robowiki.net/servlet/RatingDetails?game=roborumble&name=pez.mini.Pugilist%201.3 I'll recall it for now.
- Mars 4 2004 - Version 1.3 under development
- Now trying with a Shadow style WaveCutting instead. The problem with overusing the positive GFs is much worse. I must really do something about my movement prediction technique. But I'm a bit out of ideas on how to do this any good with the CodeSize limit... I also have some problems to sort out with my CustomEvent driven EnemyWaves. See EventManagement for more info this...
- Mars 4 2004 - Version 1.2 released
- Fixed major bug when I was surfing an arbritratuy bullet-wave instead of the closest. Still overuse positive GFs a lot. I think this has to do with my forward prediction not being accurate enough.
- Mars 3 2004 - Version 1.11b released
- Some bug fixes and tweaks
- Mars 3 2004 - Version 1.1 released - 1744 points
- Now featuring WaveSurfing (even if it's not very good yet...)
