Hello, I have modified my reset code to run tournament style leagues for 2.45.01.

Please give me a list of robots to run OR you want me to run ALL F1 and Starting Gate Robots??? (as far as I know all Starting gate robots are F1 robots as well)

Remember since this is a tournament style league, the total robots must be base 2. Such as 32 robots , 64 robots ,128 robots, etc.

The reason i went with my own league system is speed...

...however I will only have 1rst place , 2nd place , 2 for third place , etc.

I'd prefer things to be run in the serial ladder fashion; it makes it easier to see how well a bot you're working on does, since you have a very clear ceiling where a certain bot kills you.

I know, but it is slow an boarding. The only reason I am agreeing to this is because I have nothing to do with my desktop while I run my experiments on the laptop.

All I need from you is a way to know when new robots are being added to the starting gate that I did not run yet...

Hey, it is better then nothing right?  :P

I appreciate the sentiment, and by all means run a ladder-league and post the results, but I think it's a tall order to want to replace the old F1 with it.  And as you mention, it has odd limitations, like it's harder to play with non power of 2 numbers of entrants.

One idea as the number of bots in a league grows to simply be too big: introduce elo ratings.  Elo works pretty well at not only sorting bots by ability without running all O(n^2) matches, but also giving entrants a numerical rating, so you can tell just how much better one bot is from another (in terms of standard deviations).

I already have a system in place; Although it is harder to play around with base 2 , there is ways of doing it to 32 robots accuracy , or better. I will leave it at 32 (that is, I will need 32 more robots to run 64) My results will be to 1 robot accuracy, starting at 32.

I am copying the robots now, it is 5/10/2011. My best help will be a way to tell if newer robots are posted past 5/10/2011.

WOW, that took a little longer then I thought.

I am surprised how much old school F1 robots where written by BY.

I am looking forward to Guardian v0.9 (F1)(Trafalgar)

Panda, make sure you attach the DNA to the end of all the robots you are sorting (and the once you already sorted) as an attachment, you may want to start a new post in each thread with the attachment.

because:

Sarcasm()

I was having way too much fun digging through the bestiary the other day, manually copying DNA.

End Sarcasm

Never mind:

Thank you Numsgil

And Thank you Panda for the sorting.

I already started the process (I have been running two PY robots for like 8 hours), but i will restart because everything is very neatly organized, I will start copying tummorow

Well, getting there, but please date the following robots in F1:

Necrotic Scarab(F1) (Talfryn, ELITE)
Jeffalish! 
Vex Obnoxious (F1)(PYmod)-pre V2.3 
Republican Wasp (F1)(Commander Keen) 
Plankton Experiment (MB/*CB/F1/Veggie)   
Chaotic Swarms (F1) *(SA) 
Cockroach v1 (F1)(Commander Keen) 
Slim Evo 3-2: The Multi Bot with a Ritual (Multi-Bot/F1) Update: 
Gazer 1 (F1)(MNuts) 

And Thank You Again, hope it is done by tomorrow otherwise I just skip them....

Edit: I can't really skip them bc then I am digging a deeper hole for myself, so, If you guys don't have the dates on those robots just make them 01.01.10 or something.
This way I know that any later then 01.01.10 robots are new.
I would of edited them myself but I don't have admin privileges.

I will change them. Why does it matter what date they are though?

Panda, the following robot was still not dated:

Shimazu fixed (F1)(henk)

I dated it as 02.02.07, but make sure that is consistent on your side.


Let me give you an example:

Say all the robots in F1 where dated before 05.05.08, I keep note of that.

Then a new guy submits a new robot dated like 05.15.11.

All I have to do is search through the message board looking for robots newer then 05.05.08.

I then will find the robot dated 05.15.11, I run it, and my new date will be 05.15.11.

Someone else submits a new robot dated like 05.15.12.

I then will find the robot dated 05.15.12, I run it, and my new date will be 05.15.12.
