I can't see anything wrong with that code, have you tried it against Walls? I'm not very good at looking at other peoples code, sorry. -- ABC
It does pretty good against Walls (seems about the same as the other method), but the Spinbot problem really bugs me. It seems that about half the time it is shooting at positions that Spinbot never even reaches. I've added a bunch of comments, maybe that will make it easier to read. Failing that, could you turn your optimised pif method into pseudocode, so I can try a second coding attempt (from scratch)? Thanks.... -- Skilgannon
In pseudocode my code is exactly the same as yours... I've changed it to look as close as possible to yours, maybe you can spot the difference?
private double getGunAngle(scanInfo predictedInfo, double nextX, double nextY) {
tolerance = 0;
scanInfo endInfo = predictedInfo;
double bulletSpeed = (20 - 3 * bulletPower);
double dist = BotUtils.distanceTo(last.x, last.y, nextX, nextY);
double ang = BotUtils.angleTo(last.x, last.y, nextX, nextY);
double angDiff = predictedInfo.d - last.d;
double projX = predictedInfo.x + dist * BotUtils.sinD(ang + angDiff);
double projY = predictedInfo.y + dist * BotUtils.cosD(ang + angDiff);
double bDist = 0;//bulletSpeed;
do {
endInfo = endInfo.next;
if (endInfo == null ||endInfo.t < predictedInfo.t)
return (Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY);
bDist += bulletSpeed;
dist = BotUtils.distanceSqr(projX, projY, endInfo.x, endInfo.y);
} while (BotUtils.sqr(bDist) < dist);
ang = BotUtils.angleTo(projX, projY, endInfo.x, endInfo.y);
dist = Math.sqrt(dist);
double predx = nextX + dist * BotUtils.sinD(ang - angDiff);
double predy = nextY + dist * BotUtils.cosD(ang - angDiff);
if (predx < 18 || predx > battleFieldWidth - 18
|| predy < 18 || predy > battleFieldHeight - 18) return (Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY);
tolerance = Math.toDegrees(/*Math.atan*/(toleranceWidth / dist));
return (ang - angDiff);
}

Wow, full source code from Shadow! =) Our guns work on a slightly different method, yours returns the angle, whereas mine returns the offset. I'll try changing mine to use the angle, like yours, and see what happens. -- Skilgannon
How many of these scanInfos/tracers do you keep? Don't you walk into memory issues with that? I keep the distance change relative to the firing point in my gun to check for out of bounds, but thats kind of inaccurate and of course doesnt show if that firing angle is reachable. -- Ebo
One Tracer for every tick of the game. I isn't that bad for memory. Not much stuff in it. I can even get rid of deltaHeading and velocity if i get this optimized method working.
class Tracer{
Tracer next;
Tracer previous;
int round;
int time;
Point2D.Double location;
double heading;
double deltaHeading, velocity;
}
