TopTenDCParty - Robo Wiki -= Collecting Robocode Knowledge =-

A party whose guests are people that have made a bot that uses DynamicClustering for both movement and targeting that is in the top 10 in the general 1-v-1 category with over 1000 battles fought. First to the party is of course ABC with his amazing Shadow! Second to the party is Chalk! Next is ???

Party Guests:

(Does X2 use DC for movement? He doesn't say that he does, so I'm guessing no...)

I think it uses Toad's movement, so no, not DC. Lukious was top 10 when I first released it, but the party hadn't started yet I guess... =) -- Voidious

*sigh* -- Simonton

No need for sighs, you can make it! You already have a worthy gun, just need to iron the bugs out of your surfing and you're done! --David Alves

But it's so much NOT fun to iron out the bugs :(. -- Simonton

*even bigger sigh* ... I have DC bot with a buggy gun and a good movement. Hmm... I wonder what would happen if we put Simonton's gun on my movement? -- AaronR

Maybe stop getting so complicated with the pathfinding stuff and just get something that works! You can add pathfinding after you completely thomp everyone. :) --Chase-san

I feel so oldschool....Maybe I'll have to try to get to the top 10 with a pattern matcher now =) -- Skilgannon

My latest experiment (generating random buffers) probably gives pretty similar results to DC...I'll give DC a try in my surfing stats, and see if I can get the same results. And maybe it's time I tuned that DC gun I got working about a month ago ;-) -- Skilgannon

I was sort of tongue-in-cheek when I first mentioned Lukious already having been top-10 once, but now that Chalk is #11... Do people get kicked out of this party, or no? =) If no, I came across a screenshot the other day that proves Lukious was already partying once. :-P -- Voidious

No kicking out, and sure, add Lukious in the right place. =) --David Alves

Yay! ([proof]) But Lukious is still self-conscious about being the weakest link at the party right now... -- Voidious

Congrats, Kev! Whether it's Hydra or WaveSerpent, you will most likely soon be the youngest to hit 2100, too. *knock on wood* =) -- Voidious

I turned 18 less than a month before getting in....so Kev better hurry =) -- Skilgannon

I still have over six months until I turn 18 =). But you've definitely been the fastest to hit 2100 (or 2000 for that matter). -- Kev

Hey, I've question. Why Skilgannon enter party with Stormrider? I saw that DrussGT use DC in both Movement and Gun! (It use DC to find imaginary bullet power in its imaginary wave surfing) --Nat

Well, DrussGT uses VCS primarily for the movement. True, it does use DC to find the imaginary bullet power, but that, I believe, actually has very little effect on score. I could probably change that to always guess '2' and for 95% of bots it would be just as good. This club is for bots that ONLY use DC, ie. no VCS at all in either gun or movement. I could change a few booleans in DrussGT to make it like this, but the score would go down dramatically. -- Skilgannon

OK, I understand now. Could you explain how to use DC instead of VCS? I currently not found any description of it on this wiki. --Nat
