Congratulations on the top nano melee bot!
That is quite the result for your first bot :). Avoiding where other bots are (probably) going to be rather than where they are now is a really neat idea that maybe could me useful for melee bots of all codesizes.
Congrats! Glad to see new (and mighty!) competitors in melee sector, there’s still plenty to explore here. Maybe even a new general melee king in the near future;)
Thank you! I've got a few ideas to improve on Quantum's implementation of the concept, although most/all of them will have to wait until I start working on a microbot :)
I'm definitely standing on the shoulders of giants with this entry though, which reminds me that I need to create a page for Quantum and repackage it with source code asap so that I can credit where it's due.
Looks like Quantum might lose the nano melee crown once scores stabalise some more. I'm struggling to find the change that would warrant a v0.3.0 release and it'll be a long time before I have a framework to help me fine tune parameters to mark v1.0.0.
That said, even if I do lose the nano crown I'm still incredibly proud of Quantum's survival score - it smashes the other nanos out of the park on survival - it's currently 4th on survival in micro and 10th in mini. In fact, it currently has a better survival score in the mini category than it does in nano.
