superficial question

[|||]

I'll be short:

Are armagetron bots doublebinders ? :)

That's all, i was playing today with bots and i am not sure if they do.

Thanks

Wow... That's a good question... With some of the stuff they can do, it sure does make you wonder...

[Your_mom]

bots dont double bind...,at least i dont think so, they can turn tighter then any double binder or non-doublebinder ever could.

[iceman]

im sure the bots are octuple binders

actually your_mom is correct, the bot program can react much faster than a human (if programmed correctly)

[root down]

i would imagine how quickly bots can turn is only affected by the cycle delay, which would define their minimum turn time

# 1st column: Program name
# 2nd column: Program reaction speed (meta: program execution speed)
# 3rd column: Reaction in an emergency
# 4th column: Program viewing range
# 5th column: wall tracing ability (meta: how good can the program handle texts?)
# 6th column: close combat ability (meta: how good can you control the prog with keyboard alone?)
# 7th column: pathfinding ability (meta: mouse control quality)
# 8th column: ability to detect closed areas and to close the enemy in (meta: is the program secure?)
# 9th column: ability to evade or cross enemy cycles (meta: is there a feud going on with users of another similar program?)
#10th column: ability to avoid dangerous tunnels ( meta: is it stable?)
#11th column: ability to react on enemy cycles tracing the own wall (meta: meaningful error messages)
#12th column: state the AI starts in (0: survive, 1: trace, 2: closecombat, 3: pathfind)
#13th column: time the AI drives straight on at the beginning
#14th column: time before the first state change

Most of these are numbers from 0 to 10, with 10 being the best. Here is everybody's favorite bot in Hell:

Rage 6 4 8 4 10 8 8 8 6 8 2 2 2

You'll have to count the columns and stuff, sorry.

I'm going to have to fiddle with the bots. Make them all different in their abilities. Make at least one of them nice and dumb!

[iceman]

ive made some crazy bots in the past that wiggle all over the place and then spiral in and die

but i didnt save the settings sorry

[/dev/null]

Heh, ive noticed a few things,

1. The bots seem to ignore cycle_delay ( They might listen to it, but it sure seems the bend the rules.
2. Has anyone else noticed that the faster your cpu, the smarter the bots?

On my old duron 700 with the default bots they were ok, but still easy to kill. On my new Athlon64 3000+ with the same default bots they are retardedly hardcore with the ai at 50. I recently turned the ai up to 100, hopefully people learn to fear my bastard bots, hehe.

lol... i played 100 on my 2.4xeon/linux... wasn't imposssible. won about 70% of the time...

Oh sorry but I was really lost, I was changing from one distribution to other and i needed all time of wordl to compile system in my slow pc.

Thank's for all answers and now is time to practise with all questions and of course, let's try how "Rage 6 4 8 4 10 8 8 8 6 8 2 2 2" bot it works.

Heh, Rage is what Yaza would be if he were slightly less aggressive and a bit more "perfect". In fact, I not only modeled Rage after Yaza, I tested him against Yaza. Rage is a bot that can consistently kill Yaza. I place his success rate about 50%, but before I disabled the bots Yaza was starting to figure out Rage's tricks. I suspect that given another month of Rage, Yaza would have finally mastered beating him.
