Description

My upcoming bot will feature a gun based on a variation of the k-NearestNeighbours? algorithm.

How does it move?

It doesn't.

How does it fire?

It searches for the k-closest scans and calculates the best firing angle with a kernel density function.

How does it dodge bullets?

It doesn't

How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?

No melee ... yet...

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Between matches: Nothing.
Between rounds: Everything.

Where did you get the name?

It's named after the first TCP-Version with congestion avoidance.

Can I use your code?

Not yet.

What's next for your robot?

Makeing the gun work against WaveSurfing AND RandomMovement
Add some Movement

SYSTEM: You have made 10000 calls to getXX methods without calling execute()
SYSTEM: Robot disabled: Too many calls to getXX methods

I guess, I'll have to rename all my methods :-(

• That's easy enough with Eclipse. =) Still, I'm not sure if that message detects the method name or if it is just counting calls to each of the Robocode.Robot.getXXX methods - if it's the latter, you could just pull the value and cache it somewhere instead. -- Voidious

• The only reason this would happen is if you put a getXX method inside a loop with a LOT of iterations. I have a habit of caching any variables I'm using in loops - not only does it prevent this problem, but it also speeds up your bot. -- Skilgannon

• I looked through the sources: it only counts getXX-calls on the robot-object and I found some hidden calls in a loop. Fixed it.
