• Note: there is no team functionality at all, though.

What's special about it?

My first attempt at AntiGravity Movement in OneOnOne.

Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

How competitive is it?

• Currently arond the 99th place. Trying to push into the 80s.

How does it move?

AntiGravity

How does it fire?

• HOT
• LT
• CT
• LT_Mean
• CT_Mean
• LT_Wierd
• PMT_PackagedVersion?
  • My own version of PatternMatching.
  • Single layer search pattern, double layer storage.
  • Only requires an int[512] array for storage.
  • Doesn't work very well, though.
• GFT
  • An extreme-segmented gun. Useless since I don't have data saving.
• FastGFT?
  • A GF Gun with NO segmentation.
• IndexedPM?
  • A normal pattern matcher.
• AWS
  • AntiWaveSurfing? Gun
  • Doesn't really work against wave surfers.
  • Works against some non-wave surfing bots though.
• RandomTargeting
  • Added a couple of RandomTargeting guns for 1.2.1.

How does it dodge bullets?

AntiGravity, by pointing it's gun array at itself.

How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?

It crashes more often in Melee than OneOnOne.

How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?

It crashes.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

• .TARGET data and .BLACKBOARD data (gun and movement respecively)

Can I use your code?

Code is included in version 1.2 and maybe 1.2.1.

What's next for your robot?

• Upgrading AntiGravity to MinimumRiskMovement.
• Saving of PatternMatching Data.

Does it have any WhiteWhales?

Dunno.

Comments, questions, feedback:

Finally corrected a long-standing bug in the core RobotNeoOperationSystem?. This should have improved the Movement, too. I apologise for updating a robot in the rumble just after one day, but the sooner the better. --Nfwu

No need to apologize. A lot of us have updated a bot several times in one day. I think my record is around 5. =) Just run a RRAH client when you add a bot so that you're contributing and nobody will mind. --David Alves

Not bad, I have never really got into using virtual guns. My Virtual gun system is a bad hack compared to this. --Chase-san
