Nibbler/NibblerPMC

This is a version of Nibbler that is slightly tweeked to performe better in the PatternMatcherChallenge.

I finaly beat PatternBot! Well, actuly Nibbler beats him about once in about five games. It took some tweeking to get less skipped events and this was critical for the performance of the pattern matcher. It's quite obvious that the number off skipped events play a major roll on the performance. The strange thing is that my pattern matcher performed relativly good from the start with about 2-4% skipped events! --Crippa

Maybe you got less skipped events to the price of a sllight decrease in accuracy? And then maybe you have found a better balance in the trade-off between accuracy of the matching and skipped events. -- PEZ

True! It doesn't mater how accurat my targeting is if i get 2-4% skipped events. Now i limit my search pattern to 100 ticks and get less skipped events. --Crippa
