Roland by Martin Alan Pedersen

Profile:

Roland the Gunslinger a.k.a. Roland Deschain of Gilead is the protagonist in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

This bot is a proof of concept in development.

Performance:

Where Ugluk favors melee, Roland favors duels, yet I'll also see how his special sauce works in melee.

Bot	Duels	Melee
Roland v0.1.0	1178	1523

Bot	Competition	Position
Roland v0.1.0	Duels	383
Roland v0.1.0	Melee	108

Targeting:

Roland shoots low power bullets to knock enemy bullets out of the air. The concept occured to me before researching it and finding it had been attempted before with unsatisfying results. This is my attempt.

Archnemeses / White Whales

Roland is not designed win as much as to survive, which doesn't lend itself to strong rivalries.

Development Tasks:

Tuning of Roland's bullet interception.

"Go then. There are other worlds than these.", a knowing member of his "ka tet"

BTW, interessting POC ... go ahead!
