Firebird is based off of the [[David Alves/Phoenix|Phoenix]] code, but uses DynamicClustering guns for both WaveSurfing and firing at the enemy. All other code is the same. Even the WaveSurfing class is the same, it just has a different value for the "enemy gun" variable. Coming soon to a rumble near you! --[[David Alves]]

Found out something interesting while testing... Firebird spends about a third the time of Phoenix in the movement method (~1150 vs ~3400 ms per round on my laptop), but spends almost ten times as long in the aiming method (~650 vs. ~65 ms per round on my laptop). Need to investigate why that's the case, I would expect it to be uniformly slower or faster...  And yes, that does mean that Firebird is significantly faster overall. At least, it is until it turns on its flattener... --[[David Alves]]

Neat! Perhaps the movement / timing discrepancy is because a VisitCountStats system will access and sum all your buffers no matter how much data you actually have, while a DynamicClustering system crunches far fewer numbers if you only have a few pieces of data. And if it dodges bullets anywhere near as well as [[Phoenix]], it probably doesn't have too many to deal with. =) Now to rederive the [[Lukious]] movement and we'll have a fully-DC-bot party going on in the top 10! -- [[Voidious]]

Awww ... I want to party, too :( -- [[Simonton]]

Oh come on, you'll probably crack the top 10 before I do with [[Lukious]]. =) -- [[Voidious]]

What's that you say? You want to have a TopTenDCParty? =) --[[David Alves]]

Actually, I just came to the sad realization that the first two bots to be knocked ''out'' of the top 10 would also be DC bots... -- [[Voidious]]

Adding 0.1 to the rumble now. Not expecting much, but it should hopefully be above 2000. Let the race to the top ten commence! --[[David Alves]]
