Old robocoder. Made some very buggy pattern matchers a long time ago.

Poked my head in the door and robocodes still goin' strong :)

Bots to follow soon.

Now, I'm dead excited about all this wave surfing and the like, but last time I was here my natural reaction was to think pattern matcher. So, I'm gonna build what I wanted to in the first place, a pattern matcher, to get back into the swing of things, and see where it goes from there...

now my idea for one, first draft, and not a great departure from the norm, is roughly

record absoloute movements of E. IE; subtract my movement from changes to find just what E did.

match recent pattern of movement against previous history.

Play it forward, but rotate it all based offset from E's current heading...?

shoot!

Ha how simple it seems. How many rabbit warrens it hides.

I don't follow exactly what you're planning there, but I like pattern matching, so I'm glad you're trying it! -- Simonton
