  • Robocode -- Analying & Action
    • Now that you have data and have it sorted, you can analyze it & figure out what to do
    • Most of your analysis will be geared toward figuring out where the robot will be in the future, based on past actions.
    • This kind of analysis has many problems to it:
      • You must assume the enemy's actions are predicable
      • And there's lots of movement patterns: circular, linear, ovular, plus combinations and short pattern breaks
    • For example, linear tracking, take the enemy's location, heading and velocity, find out when your bullet can reach that robot, and fire
    • Circular is a little more difficult, and then there's more complex movements
