How did neural networks pop up here? Leave them alone and let them be what they are supposed to be - automatic non-linear function aproximators. Still quite useful, but no black magic included. They simply take a set of points in some multidimensional coordinates and try to draw a line that passes most of them. Maybe it's not an accurate description, but should help in some basic understanding of what ANNs realy are. --lRem

Actually, my bot was currently using Mirror Movements (e.g. flipped 180 degrees) and SandBoxDT? killed itself by firing and seemingly dodging its own bullets for my bot, my bot wasn't even firing. Unfortunately this seems to only work on the first round. I also noticed simular results with DustBunny(though it works every turn >:D), RaikoMX, and amazingly to some extent on FloodMini. However most of the pattern matchers seem to catch on rather quickly and exploid my bots movements.
I was considering mixing it up, so that each tick it would constantly moving and not only directly mirrored of the opponent, but sometimes only the x or y aswell to throw them off (use a Math.Random). This could be a fairly decent tactic and would make it semi immune to other mirror movement bots. -- Chase-san
