A technique used by I think all expert wave surfers. Using Robocode physics to precisely predict your bots position when the surfed wave hits gives you the richest information possible. Then it's up to the descision mechanism to move accordingly. Look at the pages
FuturePosition and
Apollon for ways to implement this. Also try
PPP and check its source code for an implementation of the
Apollon published code. PPP also has
RobocodeGLV014 debug output code which might make it easier to experiment with this. --

Comments anyone?
You are right about Shadow, PEZ. In it's first WaveSurfing versions (2.31) it didn't acount for wallSmoothing, though. -- ABC
Added a few bots, but I'm sure plenty are still missing. I'm just guessing about Ascendant... hehe. =) -- Voidious
