Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Unfortunately, the major issue for me is not strategy.. it's finding time to work on a robot. Unless I've been grossly misinformed, I can still get neither paid nor laid from this.. :-) -- Troy

Thanks for the vote of confidence PEZ. I realise it's often difficult to accept people's word in good faith, particularly on the net.. but it's nice to know there's still some humanity left in us. :-) Well, in any case it's not really in my hands at the moment. I've spoken with the maintainer of the 'Cryptopia' site and he's stated that, although he has not received any complaint thus far from sun or ibm, if he does, he will immediately remove the bot. Thanks for the info David. -- Troy

David, as for writing normal bots: 'KissMyClass?' has a fair bit of good code hidden within it. Movement is 100% complete; all that would need to be done is to remove the 'special' inputs, and replace them with estimations of bullet positions. These would probably be based on when the other bots fire, as well as the estimated direction of fire (one might increase the accuracy of the latter by taking note whenever you're hit, and doing the math). I've no idea how well it would do, but it'd sure be fun to try.
