The "new" thing in Robocode, IMO, is the appearance of KD-Trees to make DynamicClustering just (or almost) as fast as VCS guns. Other than that, small tweaks to WaveSurfing algorithms (like my revival of Goto Surfing in DrussGT, Simonton was also working on something), RoboResearch (a command-line tool designed to replace RoboLeague for running challenges and the like), and a lot of rating drift at the top of the rumble =) -- Skilgannon |
