Rankings: [For current season] Overall
See RoboRumble/TemporaryServerUp for details on how to set up the client for the current server.
Read my thoughts on /HowToWin (besides the obvious solution, which is to start robocode on 100 computers) --David Alves
You can download a minimal set of bots from https://davidalves.net/robocode/robots/bots.zip Delete your /robots and /.robotcache directories and delete robot.database from the main folder, then extract the zip into /robots. The first time it starts up after you do this, robocode will take a long time to extract all the bot JARs. Once that initial slow loading is done, robocode should run much faster on each iteration. --David Alves
Looks like it uploaded too many results for too few battles. Strange... -- Jonathan
Might not be a bug. Don't forget that the client can upload up to 4 results per battle. If two nanobots are the roborumble are selected to fight each other, the result is uploaded to roborumble, minirumble, microrumble, and nanorumble. So if you're seeing the same pairing uploaded 4 times, check if they are nanos. I don't think it works the other way around though... battles fought in nanorumble aren't loaded into higher weight classes. At least, they shouldn't be, because that would skew the results for nanos in game roborumble. --David Alves Let's keep the pace up. While we were at the peak a new version of a bot could get it's new rating in an hour! -- PEZ
Why does RR@H keep locking up? Very frustrating. It did not do that in the past and it is now. Anyone have any clues? Should we start collecting data on pairings to see if there is a correlation? -- jim
Locking up, how? -- PEZ
It just stops. CPU usage drops to zero and it does not respond to keyboard input. It hangs there until I kill it and restart it again. -- jim
David, are you using one or two computers to run battles? It seems you can deliver 50% more than I can. -- PEZ
Mostly just my desktop, when I'm not using it. Sometimes I also use my laptop, but not very often. It's *much* slower at running battles than the desktop, significantly slower than you would expect given the difference in specs. Yesterday I didn't deliver as many as usual because I was using running targeting challenges for a few hours during the evening, then a program on normal priority got stuck in an endless cycle throwing OutOfMemoryErrors? sometime during the night. RRAH is on low priority so I think it was CPU starved for a few hours. --David Alves
Next time you're going to end the season, I'd be happy to send you my roborumble.txt file and agree to only run battles on my desktop until one of us reaches 10K. That way we can get a measure of how fast our desktops deliver battles. I think we both have very fast computers so a difference in battles / hour might be due to AMD vs. Intel? --David Alves
Yes. That'll be a fun test. I'm sure you're going to win with a comfy margin. But I think maybe the big issue here is hyper threading and the way Robocode doesn't cope with it. My machine runs RC in only "half" of its CPU because of this. -- PEZ

If my math is correct that sums up to 742,045 battles. Quite awesome!

Pulsar, what computer(s) are you running RRAH on? --David Alves
Various computers and far from all the times. One P4 2.8GHz, one P3 800MHz and a 1.7 or 1.8GHz P4 at work and very rarley a laptop P4 1.5-1.6 (not the fancy Pentium M or anything). --Pulsar
It might be time to end the season PEZ :-) --David Alves
Yeah, I'll do it when I get home today. -- PEZ
Did you delete the results for the last season without adding them to this page? I was at about 75000 :-( --David Alves
No. I just forgot to run check the results before restarting the season. But no worries! Here are the results:

Sorry, was on a ski trip and forgot to leave it running. It's on again now, as you can see. :-) --David Alves
Are Teambattles also counted for this competition? If so, they should have a multiply factor, because they are sloooooooow. And even in this competition I am dangling behind . . . --GrubbmGait
How long exactly is a season? The current one already accumulated 150k+ battles. --GrubbmGait
A seasons length can't be described in exact terms. =) I'll try to remember to cycle the seasons tonight. -- [[PEZ]

Why not use the "Overall" and "For current season" options at the top of this post. Would make for a cleaner and more professional look. Dont know how much work it is, but probably worth it. -- Toz
