Calliope

Calliope was my first decent bot, but I've stopped development on it and let it sit blissfully in retirement for whoever wants to test against it.

How does it move?

It has three movements: a predictable back and forth movement, a forward full-speed/backward half-speed movement, and a simple bullet dodging method.

How does it fire?

Um. I don't remember exactly. Randomized linear aim, I think.

How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?

Melee was simple, flee from the closest bot.

Where did you get the name?

I was using the word 'Calliope' as my password for, among other things, the repository.

Can I use your code?

Yes. But it's not open source, so I guess not.

What's next for your robot?

Nothing, Calliope's done.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

Alisdair Owen's Snippetbot?.
