My first entry into the
NanoBot arena.
How does it move?
It attempts to stay perpendicular to it's opponent, very standard :)
How does it fire?
Currently just a simple see & shot algorithm
In a 1-v-1 situation it waits for the opponent to fire before moving.
How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
In a melee the robot attempts to target the closest opponent and keeps moving.
Where did you get the name?
It's the title of a song by Jackie Wilson and because the codesize of this bot is v small it seemed appropriate.
Can I use your code?
Sure. The source code is available on the
RobocodeRepository.
What's next for your robot?
I need to improve the targetting strategy as it really struggles to register a hit on some of the Bots.
What other robot(s) is it based on?
Its overall structure is similar to a lot of the standard
NanoBots.
At the moment it doesn't do anything clever like
AntiGravity and
PatternMatching. I am totally in awe of the guys who can get that much complexity into such small robots.
