CurveFlatteningChallenge2K6 - Robo Wiki -= Collecting Robocode Knowledge =-

A component of the MovementChallenge2K6:

The CurveFlatteningChallenge2K6 gives you a way to measure your bot's ability to avoid some of the best targeting systems available. To measure your bot's movement against bots with less advanced targeting systems, use other parts of the MovementChallenge2K6.

Howto

Get the reference bots here: http://home.versatel.nl/gheijenk/robocode/MC-files/CFC2K6-ReferenceBots.zip
The reference bots are: CassiusClay 1.9.9.96bd, FloodHT 0.9.2 and Shadow 3.66.
Run 500 rounds against each of them.
Arena size 800 x 600
Everything else set to Robocode defaults
You are not allowed to fire any bullets

Your bot's score is average amount of life you had at the end of each round. 100 means that the reference bot never hit you. You calculate your score like this:

 100 - (reference bot's bullet damage score / 500)

You can use the MovementChallenge calculator for the calculations. Just upload the Roboleage results file to it: http://robowiki.net/cgi-bin/MCCalc

Nota bene! In this challenge it is very important that you run 500 round battles. No longer. No shorter. If your movement is the least bit adaptive your scores can be quite different with the amount of time the reference bots have to learn.
