=== Baal ===

I am a 17 year old junior, who is currently addicted to  trying to grasp Robocode.

I am homeschooled, and Robocode has helped me pick up trigonometry faster than I would have otherwise.

In addition to [[Java]], I also code in <a href"https://www.Python.org/">Python</a>, and C++.

The wiki has helped me tremendously in my coding, and in my schooling, so thanks, guys.

I had an idea occur to me last night. Would it be possible to use a Bezier curve algorithm to plot a course through a number of randomly selected plots?  I would like to this create some debugging graphics for this as well. The wikipedia page [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézier_curve Here]] has a C program that can be used to plot a curve, if anyone besides me is interested in this idea. Also please forgive the lack of coherence in this statement, I'm not quite awake yet. I will rewrite this later with a better explanation of my idea, but I thought I needed to get the raw idea down such as not to forget. ;P -- [[Baal]]

Bezier curves can be alot of fun, and I have tested them for many tings such as guessfactor bin smoothing and simular, however they can be rather slow in executing if they are to high of level. --[[Chase-san]]

I see someone has been getting alot of use out of my lrp. My web stat counts about 436 uses for your bot N alone (across the versions). --[[Chase-san]]

Hey guys, quick question: How can I make sure I have a target? Maybe target.name != null? or something else? Thanks! --[[Baal]]

You might need to give more background info on the situation you have in mind. If you initialize your instance variable targetName to an emptry string (<code>targetName = ""</code>) at the top of your run() method, then you can check for <code>!targetName.equals("")</code> to ensure you've picked up a target that round. You might also add something to onRobotDeath that sets targetName to the empty string if the bot that died was your target (<code>if robotDeathEvent.getname().equals(targetName)</code>). Does that answer your question at all, or no? -- [[Voidious]]

The latter explanation did the trick, thanks Voidious! -- [[Baal]]
