I loved the way Shens Umbra searched for enemies/food.

From waaaay back, I remember my bot used to be powerful, and if I remember correctly it was always up against Hunters and such like.

So I decided to use the search pattern from Umbra on my Potissimus, and here is the final product!!!


Just a little note
It may not work too well, my DB program has had a few mess ups recently, and doesnt seem to run things the way it should, so just shout at me if it sucks >.<

It certainly works, think it got up to Icarus when I tried it.

Putting code that worked well in one bot into another is a good way to start a bot off but one of the things I find is that overall behaviour affects how well bits of code work much more than it used to. I think with a bit of fine tuning you could end up with a very competitive bot.
