Tips and Tricks / how to make a bot go at the simulations max velocity all the time!

« on: March 13, 2010, 05:35:22 PM »

fine  

Aww . . . maybhe you could sense drag with something along the lines of

[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']def drag 50

cond
 *.robage 0 =
start
 .tie inc
 0 .drag store
stop

cond
 *.robage 1 >
 *.robage 22 <
start
 .deltie inc
 *.maxvel .up store
 *.nrg .drag store
stop

cond
 *.robage 21 =
start
*.drag *.nrg sub .drag store
*.drag *.maxvel div .drag store
stop

cond
'conditions for moving forwards
start
*.drag .up store
stop

Wow, that's cool... shame it doesn't go back to 1993 when the internet was invented though... would have been nice to see amazon and woolworths... major brands in thier infancy... at least on the internet anyway

And that's where cats come handy...   Just not so handy when they kill all the cute little froggy woggies and robins and stuff...

Hi!
The F1 league is a very lofty goal-I'd aim for F3 first. This gets you a good base bot to work on, as you can't use tricks, so the system behind the bot has to be very robust. Next, try getting your defenses sorted out in F2, then you can go for F1 with some dramatic trick  

I might try that... sounds like a good idea  

EDIT=> I see the first bit of your code is very similar to Commander Keen's Oculus Infinitus-you could have a look at OCULUS and OCULUS II in the gene depository-it's a store command that sets the focus eye to the closest target, then uses *.eyef to read it as if it were, for example, *.eye5 . You can then read data from off-side (it's now the focus eye, so can be read as though it were eye5) to decide whether to turn towards that bot or not by using *.refxpos *.refypos angle .setaim store. This prevens your bots from turning into conspecs.

Thanks for the refrence... I think you overestimate my abilities however , I'm not entirely sure what the majority of the code means . But thanks anyway.   Most of the eyesight genes is just code that i re-arranged from bubbles [/font]

So what do you think,  it doesn't rank on the F1 league at all but how would you improve it so it could?
