Editing Goofy/RoboRumble

Robo Home | Changes | Preferences | AllPages

I'm going to log my responses to participating in RoboRumble here (to keep it off the RoboRumble chat page.)

Day 1:  [[/GoofyBot|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:
#Movement upgrade!  I have a feeling Movement screws me up royally.

Day 2 (The morning after):  With 645 battles under his Belt, [[/GoofyBot|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|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!  [[Goofy/GoofyBotCS|GoofyBotCS]], hopefully, will outperform the original [[/GoofyBot|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.

4-24-04: The results of the RoboRumble are particularly disappointing.  I figured [[/GoofyBotCS|GBCS]] would finish above [[/GoofyBot|GB.1]], but not a single step...  Well, in honesty, [[/GoofyBotCS|GBCS]] uses a different gun, which I think isn't as good as [[/GoofyBot|GB.1]]'s.  However, [[/GoofyBot|GB.1]]'s gun is a disgusting mess of a code and [[/GoofyBotCS|GBCS]]'s is particularly more interesting, and I think elegant.  I am under the impression that tweaking of [[/GoofyBotCS|GBCS]]'s gun could yield significant improvements to its capabilities.  Now, if only my [[Robocode]] didn't keep hanging...  I'd actually be able to test these things.

Summary:
Consciousness check: 8 + 6 =
