AntiPatternMatcherChallenge2K6

A component of the MovementChallenge2K6:

The AntiPatternMatcherChallenge2K6 gives you a way to measure your bot's ability to avoid getting hit by a PatternMatcher gun, a gun that is very good against predictable movement patterns.

Howto

• Get the reference bot here: https://home.versatel.nl/gheijenk/robocode/MC-files/cjm.Che_1.2MC.jar
• The Challenger is not allowed to fire any bullets.
• The Challenger meets the reference bot in battle over 500 rounds.
• Arena size 800 x 600
• Everything else set to Robocode defaults
• The Challenger's score is calculated like "100 - (reference bot's bullet damage / 500)"

You can use the MovementChallenge calculator for the calculations. Just upload the Roboleage results file to it: https://robowiki.net/cgi-bin/MCCalc
