Day 1: GoofyBot 0.10 has participated in 60 battles and has a ranking. I can't stop myself from saying, "This is totally cool."... To do list on my bots growing:
Day 2 (The morning after): With 645 battles under his Belt, GoofyBot's progress has stalled. He seems he will remain stable at about rank 213. My Robocode dreams (or perhaps nightmares) have brought on more ideas for movement upgrades. Possibly also scaling down GoofyBot to mini size so get a better handle on keeping clean code. Unfortunately, this will require a new underlying structure. Surgery is to commence on his movement, however, immediately.
4-22-04 (Lost track of days, so I have to use dates now.): New Bot being entered! GoofyBotCS, hopefully, will outperform the original GoofyBot in every way. As I write this, I'm finishing 1000 rounds with FloodMini 1.4 to see how his movement curve is. Only time will tell.
