I noticed that WeeklongObsession dropped a bit when you switched to matching on lateralVelocity/advancingVelocity, have you considered changing your bots here to using acceleration/angularVelocity? -- Skilgannon

* Yup. I even plan on it. Sometime ....... -- Simonton
* Hey, it actually turned out to give almost the exact same score. Which is nice, because it saves about 50 instructions (CodeSize). And actually, [version 1.8] will give a better comparison, because 1.6.3 matched on 11 angular velocity symbols. 1.7.x matched on 17 advancing velocity symbols, 1.8 matches on 9. -- Simonton

I have a goal to make pattern matching a viable alternative to the top GF guns. Grab some base code from [here] and help me out!

My current test platform is the TargetingChallenge2K7. I think it's going to make the most sense to tune one PM gun to hit adaptive movers, tune another to hit random movers / oscilators / etc., and put them into a VirtualGuns array. Here's some scores as I make progress:

Comments, questions, feedback:

Might be useful to have Che, PatternMatcherBot (if someone ran it...), and maybe a top-tier GF and top-tier DC gun listed here for comparison, too. -- Voidious

It seems that the multiple choice does very poorly against AM, this makes sense because they constantly change their movement, and the older matches don't really have any bearing on what is happening now. If you take away the requirement for the angular velocity to also match, I wonder what kind of scores you will get. -- Skilgannon

First stab at wallsegmentting gets an amazing 75.63% overall, above Ali and just below shadow! If this keeps going up, I might start poking more into PatternMatching. --Chase-san

Just wondering, how are you doing the wall segmentation? Do you check if the predicted position is near the wall, or do you just match on different patterns if the current position is projected to be outside the wall, or what? -- Skilgannon

This match tolerance looks promising. I'm guessing it is similar to what is posted on the DynamicClustering page? Sort of a combination of everything? If so, the weightings can probably still be tuned. 2.5% below Shadow's gun, not bad, not bad. ;-)-- Skilgannon

Huh - combining match tolerance and wall segmentation seemed to give the worst of both worlds, instead of the best. -- Simonton

Oh, I get it now. I suppose the only real way to get a PM as good as a GF is to definitely have a multiple chioce PM.. or rather a Virtual gun for one good vs normal bots, and one good vs surfers. --Chase-san

You are running loads of tests here - if it were me, I'd just ignore the surfers and move onto them later. They are much slower and also less important in developing a good gun, IMO. You could probably benchmark against 10 more non-surfers in the same time it's taking you to do those 5 surfers and it might really help give you a better picture of your stats. Just a thought though, keep up the good work. -- Voidious

Oh, I forgot to say, thanks for running those battles against Shadow, Chase. I wish the results were a little different! -- Simonton

Impressive scores so far, put the top guns togeather and might have a top 10 bot, atleast if the movement is as good. --Chase-san

Now I just have to figure out exactly what that PerformanceEnhancingBug did .... -- Simonton

Look at the huge difference between 2 rounds with max match length of 1 and 2. Why would max match length of 1 do so well? And given that it does, why wouldn't 2 work better? At least then it would know if the enemy was accelerating/decelerating. --Simonton

Note sure, this has happened to me before when making one of my first DC guns. Also, why not put some of that processing power to work on the rumble. :P --Chase-san

I noticed that WeeklongObsession dropped a bit when you switched to matching on lateralVelocity/advancingVelocity, have you considered changing your bots here to using acceleration/angularVelocity? -- Skilgannon
