T. Mosquito v1.03 (1G)(MacadamiaNuts)-14.01.07

<< < (2/3) > >>

Light:
Just been taking a look at it against some of the top bots, the only one it cant beat is Excalibur 1.11 and an experimental bot G 0.3 but neither are in the leagues. It would be an impressive entry if you were an experienced DB'er, but considering its your first bot and a 1G at that all I can say is wow and well done  

Jez:
Sounds cool, I shall run it through the leagues shortly.

Shamelessly using your bot to exploit bits of the system that seem unbalanced is a very good way of getting these issues discussed. It may indeed mean every bot that uses the same tactics beats all the old bots or there may be a way for bots to defend themselves; leaching, chameleon, fixpos all spring to mind as tactics that swept the floor with all the other bots when they were first used.

Anyway, bugs and exploits are a traditional way of winning the league, nothing to worry about on that score!!

I've edited the title of your post slightly so it fits into the bestiary, if non mods can post in the bestiary now I'll move it there, if not I'll leave the post here for a while so it can gather comments.  

AFAIK bots are immune to their own species venom and poison, it was made that way because it caused lots of problems for the bots otherwise.

MacadamiaNuts:
About the Mosquito league bug, try deleting the comments... perhaps there's a conflict between the file name and the #name: comment.

Jez:
Good idea, nothing else I've tried worked. I figure it must be a code conflit seeing as it's never happened like this before.

Anyway I've found some old bots that didn't look like they'd been run through the F2 league so I'm running those atm, but will try it again after I've entered them.

In the future, (I'm learning best practice as I go along atm seeing as PY has been league mod for so many years and I'm new at this). Any new entries that have problems will be held back until the problem is solved without stacking newer entries behind them.

What suprised me most was that you hadn't run into the same problem when you ran it in the league.  

MacadamiaNuts:
The copy I put in the league is plain code, without comments.
