Editing RaikoMX/OldDiscussion

Irrelevant stuff now, about 0.1:

An experimental movement which I wanted to test, but couldn't fit into [[Raiko]] (yet).  The gun is very similar to [[Raiko]]'s for now, though I have something up my sleeve once I have a baseline score. ;-)  It's designed to make DT-style adaptive movement easy, so if it works out I'll probably start on a megabot with adaptive movement, virtual guns, etc... in which case I'll put a proper page here shortly. - [[Jamougha]]

Comments / Suggestions for a proper name? :-)

----
RaikoMX is a good name. -- [[PEZ]]

I concur. -- [[Tango]]

Sounds good to me, scary even. :) -- [[ABC]]

Lol, OK, I'll start a Raiko family.  And [[ABC]], if you think that's scary, wait until I hook it up to my anti-Shadow gun. ;-) - [[Jamougha]]

Interesting. So far it only loses to 5 bots. Of which 3 are mine and 1 half-mine. =) It's a very strong bot though! -- [[PEZ]]

Funny how you didn't include saved data on my bots. :) -- [[ABC]]

Looks like it's doing really poorly against classic style pattern matchers, it barely beats Fermat. Stat guns seem to all be getting burned really badly, though. -- [[Kuuran]]

Wow, way better than I'd hoped!  Ah, if I can just find a few more bytes in Raiko...

[[ABC]], yeah :-) saved data is weird with Shadow.  Sometimes it helps and sometimes it makes things go *really* wrong.  I suspect that if you were to reset your movement system every 20 round, say, then things would get... problematical.

[[Pez]], it's that lingering loyalty in the Tityus code. ;-)  Seriously, I think it's the good old time-since-velocity-change segment, at least in Gloomy.  DT seems to lock onto this movement crazily well, too. I'll work out something.

Kuuran, yeah, I kind of expected that.  There's quite a predictable pattern to it.  Possibly I should alternate with Raiko's movement, they have roughly opposing peaks.  - [[Jamougha]]

Wow 1908 points! You could be right about the segmentation. Now it's only [[Swiffer]] and GloomyDark that has an edge against RMX (veeery slight edge in the case of Gloomy). They have exactly the same gun and segmentation if I remember correctly. I think it's an excellent idea to switch movements. You have two excellent, but completely different movements there. Time to go MultiMode. Feel free to use [[Swiffer]]'s system for rating and alternating movements. It should be pretty straight forward to understand I hope. If you also use its CribSheet data saving you can fit 1000+ opponents in your data dir and pack the movement rating data with it (like [[Swiffer]] does). I would say that #1 spot is within reach! If you send me an e-mail we can plan this throne attack together if you like. =) pez@pezius.com -- [[PEZ]]

[[PEZ]], thanks, I wouldn't get too excited yet. :-)  My experiments with alternating the two movements haven't been impressive so far, probably since this does better than Raiko's against all but 3 bots.  However, I have another experimental movement which seems to do well against stat guns.  If I can refine this then I might try it.  Right now I'm just going to see if I can push up another 11 points. ;-) - [[Jamougha]]
