TieFighters (Work in progress)

[Moonfisher]

Ok, I know how this looks, it's horrible and messy and it's not even 10% done.... but I wanted to show off the tricks I'm using before Abyaly beats me to releasing the rest of my ideas
It beats everything I've tryed except Pacifist and Etch II, it shouldn't be far away from beating pacifist, but as mentioned above....
It can whipe out alge in no time, but Etch uses the same strategy and does it better, I think using venom to shoot -1 into the alges tieloc was a bad call (Range is too short, cost is too high), should just stick to mem shots.
But it does have a cool attack, watch it kill of bots that don't accept ties only using ties (Not shots). The attack is a litle slow and not realy perfected, but it looks cool

The code execution costs are horribly high, I never start to optimize costs till all actions are perfected, and my code gets pretty messy over time so there's a lot of redundant stuff...
Also I was working on a new behavior to take controll over an alge, but never got it to work propperly.... was going to start over with a new strategy... I guess I may aswell reveal it, was thinking of shrinking an alge and bringing it close, then fixpos on the bot and the alge and let the bot grow to envelop the alge and protect it, what I'm getting at is theres a large code section that does nothing
Problem is either I need a virus in the alge to keey tieloc at -1 or I need to tie 2 bots to it... and both are a problem againt Etch since it kills the alge too fast... would need a virus that breaks ties from enemies or kills them through it... and that would make the virus longer, more channel time.... generaly the whole idea seems like it would be too slow to beat....

Either way, from looking at the tie comands used, if all triks work, then it would take some serious effort to beat the new Etch, would need a lot of defences and counter moves and what not...
I might try a few things now and then to see if I can find a weakness to exploit... but if I do it's only a matter of a small update of Etch II and I would be back to second place, it realy bugs me that the design is so neat and simple and clean, but the one behavior used is just so much better than what I was trying....
I know I could probably improve this thing a lot... by looking at Etch II.... but wheres the fun in that ? And there would be no point since Etch II is what I need to beat !!!

So here it is... didn't bother thinking of a good name, didn't bother cleaning it or optimizing or anything.... I just know I won't have time to finish this thing any time soon, so wanted to release it before Abyaly does something similar

Also from what I understand ties didn't work in earlyer version.... so here I thought I was coming up with great new tricks for ties, when I was realy reinventing the wheel... I bet Abyaly had the alge feeding idea ages ago but couldn't get it to work...  but it was nice to feel smart while it lasted
I may be back once my thesis is done to take another wack at Etch II, but for now I need a break from DB, if I'm gonna be writing code and documentation all day long I can't spend the litle time I get to relax writing more code...

That is a really pretty spread at the start. You can really tell it was made for F1 matches

When I ran it with 0 veggies, I noticed that a lot of bots died off on their own and the bots left had little energy. You're losing a lot of it somehow. Perhaps on movement?

Also, I think it may be eating the vegs faster than etch. Maybe because your bots dont rely on allies to help eat the veg?


*Edit - after looking at a few matches, I think that energy expenditure may be the reason it's losing. It tends to come out ahead in the actual fighting.

[Moonfisher]

Actualy it seems like the spread is actualy holding it back, looks like the birth should be set lower and use 3 or 4 rotations of the "center bot" during spread... (Currently it rotates twice).
They're just too few to get the upper hand. It does help if I try to run it with no costs, but it's still far from a win. And generaly code execution and movement costs haven't been adjusted, it should have ended up SG'fied with 3-5 hibernation levels, so you could cut down energy consumption as the bot drops below a certain energy and have a final hibernation with 0 code execution costs.
But then Etch II came out  Maybe if I cleaned it up and SG'fied it and made the hibernation levels and studyed Etch to make some good tie defences, and tweeked the spread and movement costs.... then it might have a chance against Etch II  But I need to start focusing all my attention on my thesis, can't have a bot in the back of my head

Also one of the reason it kills itself is that it hasn't been tweeked to make sure it doesn't try to use it's tripple tie trick if it doesn't have the energy or body for it. It was initialy a MB with 3 bots tied together, but forming new ties always destroyed it's shape, gave up eventualy and used birth instead, this has the sideeffect of sometimes killing it though

I know it still needs a lot of work just wanted to get my ideas out there before you beat me to them and take 'em to the next level  
It'll be a while till I have the time to finish this thing, and I figured you'd be updating Etch in the meantime making it even more fearce

[abyaly]

Nah, any DB work I do in the meantime will either be on an f2 vector calculating bot, an f1 rape bot, or a multibot

[Moonfisher]

Heh ok, thats nice, then atleast theres a chance to beat it for a short period of time
I know I probably can't stop working on this bot entirely, but it'll be a while till I can put some real effort into it. I can't help trying out small ideas and tweeks.
Somewhere near the end of june I should have the time to optimize and clean it and get more behaviors and hibernation levels and form new ties I when the feeding isn't working on alge (To make sure noone else is recieving all the energy though a more recent tie). And ofcourse try to make it beat Etch...
I hope competition hasn't hardened it too much by then
