Whoa....I have to say, this was the fastest defeat I've ever seen. Arby is going to need some e-hugs after that.

Congratulations to both for making it to the finals! Special congrats to Defrag, too.
Now, are there specific 1 v 1 battles?

The loser(an i still not give it away?) was unlucky, the winner was a very good bot, and quite a bot to be able to take out ab :D. Anyway, it's been fun to watch, i think it should be done more often :D.

Heh, I knew exactly what was going to happen from the end of day 1 XD

It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion...

My bot is the sillyest bot of all and walks straight into enemy fire... XD

Congrats to Defrag.

##++Battle FFA - Link (html) | Link (exe)
All bots!

Bots were randomly placed equally distanced in an equalaterial 27-sided polygon. Last bot standing wins (I haven't actually watched this battle all the way through :P).

This battle is extremely laggy, you may want to run the exe for a better framerate, or just download the swf (http://www.jmtb02.com/aswars2007/ffa.swf).

Oh yes..FFA battle. It was indeed laggy as hell, but freakin hilarious, esspecially claxor and his comments : 2 down, 24 to go :D

By the end the two corner-campers were left, Kart-Man and...the red orb. Gee, I guess camping was a good idea.

rofl.. my bot couln't aim because there were too many bots 0.o

Response to ## AS Wars 2007 Battles 2007-01-10 14:53:09


Congratulations Defrag!

Looking back, I would definately change two things.

First, my bot always moved every other frame. It then used the other frames to either shoot, reload, or heal, depending on the situation. Since my bot polls its immediate surroundings for bullet threats using projected line intersections off of each bullets predicted path, I should have had the bot stand still and concentrate fire when in very little danger, and perhaps forfeit heals for extra speed if its current position is at particular risk.

Second, is that although I coded a close range volley intended to take out any bot that came within 100 pixels quickly, I only made it an available choice if it was not in evasive mode. I think this is what caused me to lose the first battle I was in, because it should have triggered when I got so close to the first opponent, but chose to heal instead. I should have used a smarter condition.

All in all though, I am happy with how my bot performed. I really put a lot of work into its predictive shooting and adaptive threat prioritizing, and although it was not as aggressive as it needed to be, it made mostly good decisions.

Haha, i guess the best way to win battles with loads of bots in is to sit in the corner and wait for everyone to destroy each other.

Also, if it's not too much trouble, can i request a 1 on 1 with me and defrag? Also, if its alright with the other guys, i think you should make the fla with everyone in public. Then we can learn from each other, and also test our bot against anyone.

For some reason the .exe ends differntly then the browser one for me 0.o

oh well, its a for-fun match anyways XD

Response to ## AS Wars 2007 Battles 2007-01-10 15:02:27


I dont mind if my fla goes public.

I would also like to see myself in a 1v1 with a couple of the more dangerous bots. perhaps some exhibition matches?

This contest was TOO FUN. I would love to see more like it.

ROFL! My bot actually killed a few peeps, unless I'm mistaken, and lasted to the top three :P Assuming that nobody stands in front of it / gets a lock on it / corner camps / center camps, it can actually kill things :)

Well, that was certainly interesting to watch. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the actions in the onClipEvent(enterFrame) continue to execute even when the bot it dead, it is really jumpy even when the there are only three left. Besides that, it was fun to watch. I will be looking out for the next one. Also, congratulations to Defrag.

As for what I would have done differently, I would have added a movement algorithm to created a much more evasive movement scheme. I would have also fixed the set targeting difference equation.

lol, why didn't you use the array's length when you were looping?

Anyway, between two opposite corner campers, the match looks like a stalemate.

Nice battle, the ending was disappointing though.

And Thx Jmtb02 for giving me a chance =D.

well, I had my bot aim at the closest bot. I only tested against 4 bots to see which one is closer.
