Chase-san - Robo Wiki -= Collecting Robocode Knowledge =-

Archived Chat from 4-5-2008

I'm Chase-san I am a 20 year old, computer science college student.

I have programmed C, C++, C#, php, javascript, visual basic and perl for many years before finding robocode. I now however am addicted to java.

Check out my /Free Code section for code you can use for free.
If you want to see my actual code you can goto my site: [Code Repository].

A PatternMatching robot by me is /PatternBot
My current development project is /Prototype

Development Bots: Bots of mine that are still in development.

Caffeine - A robot that is constantly morphing (currently looks like DC surfing and PM gun).
Genesis - Uses melee style Minimum-Risk Movement for its 1 on 1 surfing. (better in melee right now)
LapisLazuli - A TwinDuel team hopefully soon will use a melee folded pattern matcher and good movement.

My Bots: Bots that are as done as they are gonna get.

Seraphim - A robot created from Beowulf and Velshea, as both surfed and used GF guns. My best bot yet!
Velshea - A surfer using some far overly complex stuff. Unretired! Give those bots something to try and beat.
Pytko - A old fashioned pattern matcher, with Raiko's movement, doesn't do to well, but is Dookious' biggest problembot (??).
SurroundingTeam - A TwinDuel team of robots whose strategy is that of TwintelligenceTeam.

Wiki bots: Bots I made and put into the wiki package.

InevitableTeam - A TwinDuel team I created from highly modified RaikoMicro. Not doing to well.
BurningStick? - HawkOnFire's movement, Sprouts gun.
Wolverine 2.1 - Reduced its call usage (thus speeding it up) and brought it up to code.

Retired Robots: Bots that are no longer competing.

Tyrra - My first bot to make it into the top 100, yay.
Beowulf - Retrired before release, A wave surfer with simple targeting
MirrorMaster - The first bot I ever entered into the rumble. It was a mirror bot (the easiest type of bot).

Unreleased Robots: AiayJabitW, Dodger, AiayHaiku, Gravitron, DigitalSea (NN bot), LastStand, FirstSurfer, MRMB, SuperSurfer, SurferX, Blackjack, Blackjack 2, Blackjack 3, Linker, Merge, Grudge, Ann, Reversal, DemonBot, EvilDroid (a droid based bot), EvilDrone (hackbot) and Dijzerna.

Also you can access my code for almost all my robot projects from my site here: [Code Repository]
I will more of my older code to it as time goes on, such as MirrorMaster, Beowulf, Tyrra, and so on as I locate thier code. Its not a SVN its just it all dumped into one place. s2 is what I had done for Seraphim 2, koho is prototype, kt is a unfinished bot called Bel, pm is my really annoying pattern matcher Pytko, also Pytko code might be broken because I think at one point I tryed to add a kd-tree (so it could use its range search function and easilly get everything within range, see I sometimes have original ideas). na and dev compose Seraphim 1, kd2 I think is a kd tree I started on but never finished. Other projects are other stuff I have worked on, mostly when I was bored. Have fun.

Ja well, I have been gone for awhile, but I guess I will try and program a robot. From scratch of course, gone are my days of using other robots for references and such. Even for simple things like advancing and linear motion and such. I think I have come to a point where I would really rather understand it then just make something that works well. I have no idea what I plan to make but my mind has considered some fairly interesting things like a half a turn (or 1/3 or 1/4, 1/8, etc) updating self organizing map based neural network solution, if I want to get complicated, otherwise just some kind of log based system. I have no idea at this time but, it doesn't really matter for me, just want to have some fun programming it. --Chase

: How could anyone not have fun programming? Glad to see someone coming back :-). --Zyx
