/Season3? is complete. Tron won again. That makes it 3 out of 3. Well done! Simone did quite well, but has a bug which caused it to be disabled in the first few rounds. I haven't looked into it much, but it looks like it marks bots as dead in the onRobotDeath? method like everyone else, but doesn't check if it knows the bot first. In normal battles it is almost impossible for a bot not to be seen before it dies, but in this league it is quite common. When that happens Simone gets a NullPointerException and is disabled. It looks like the enemies hash or whatever it uses is remembered between rounds, so once it got a complete list it operated fine for the rest of the battle, so did ok overall. It shouldn't be hard to fix, so i suggest it is done in the next release of the bot. Walls got last place, and so is removed from the league. That makes Crazy the last SampleBot left, and it is quite high in the league still. Surely we can make 10 bots that are better than the sample bots? -- Tango

I have some good news, and some bad news. The bad news is my sister quit robocode inbetween it finishing season 4, and me saving the results (or even looking at them), so i will have to do season 4 from scratch tomorrow. A lovely waste of a few hours. The good news is Jekyl will get to have it's bug fixed version in the league, so doesn't have to worry about if it survives all the Nulls. -- Tango
