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.

Dumped the whole DC/NN stuff. I'm trying VCS now. After several bugfixes I'm a bit better than the DC-Gun, but nowhere near as good as I hoped. [Here] is a picture with all graphical debug stuff enabled. Working on PrecisePrediction for maximum escape angle at the moment. I hope that helps. -- Ebo
