The F1 League lives again!
Numsgil:
Sure. But I suppose shape unaware bots would be at a rather large disadvantage (would they even survive?). So I'm not sure about integrating it in to, say, the core F1 rules. Would make for more interesting matches (would have to be careful that the shapes don't create something like a safe area that can't be gotten to from anywhere else), but if it breaks all existing league bots that would be problematic.
Moonfisher:
I was thinking ghost shapes that absorb shots... but I'm also thinking it could be used as an exploit by tie bots, hiding in the shapes and killing intruders with ties.
I think maybe just adding random shapes might be a problem. I think it should be more like a fixed map of certain shape, so you would be able to set up interesting areas of some sort...
But I also agree this might just create a need to make the bots aware of shapes and not try kill them or run into them...
Would probably be best to make some tests, make some maps and see how current league bots handle it, and see if you can actualy gain a real advanatage from shapes other than unprepared bots wasting time trying to kill shapes... try to make a bot that uses shapes for something, to see if the idea actaly works.

I think any shapes would be a major disadvantage to most bots, and a whole new series of bot would have to be made. However, the map thing is interesting. I made two slightly different versions of Whirlwind, both of which build fortresses using algae, and raid the other fortress every now and then. I think that with a map, that kind of bot would look really amazing.
