Juststickman's summer AI competition

Well to celebrate summer, yeah, an AI competition with added randomness  big_smile

Instructions: link
Template: link




Participants (1v1s):
Dazachi
Demosthenes
Juststickman
jacob2123
Kileymeister
Cnor
roger-

RULES FOR SCORING (1v1s):
Basically, everybody will face everybody (well, there'll be 7 rounds if that's too much work). Every player starts at 5 points. By beating somebody, you gain their points. By losing, you lose 1 point per round number (round 1 you lose 1 point, round 2 you lose 2 points etc).
BUT if you fight me, you will lose no points for losing and your points will be doubled for winning, I'll also let you use a rail gun script in your AI. The thing is, I have all abilities, double health (and double size), 5 speed, and am allowed to use hacked blocks (No, I'm not gonna be cheap with go to blocks), and a hacked weapon (rail gun, uses point towards and stuff, I also have a homing missile but it only homes in for 4 seconds and is velocity based). That means I have...
80 health
health regen
floats
armor
+2 speed
rail gun
homing missile
happy late april fools!
If you beat me I will let you use the homing missile script (the velocity CAN lead to high speeds, much higher than actually allowed, AND it goes through walls), but you can't edit it. This is not giving you that much of an advantage because...
-It becomes your only weapon
-It only homes in for 4 seconds and then moves forward
-It starts at 0 velocity so it has a speed up time
-I will give you 1 less point per 1 and 2 more points lost per loss.

The first map you'll play on is in the template.
Tell me if you want to join!

NOTE: the reason pick random is not allowed is simple: I don't have an account for video sharing sites, so I'm actually gonna post a scratch project with the same result every time.

The first map that you will play on is: The epic random lava filled water doodle world arena
This arena has two main areas, and a small bridge. There are numerous blobs of random lava, try using them to your advantage. Floating is recommended.
This map is in the base.

There may be different game modes later on! (capture the flag, all try and kill my robot, team deathmatch, disarm the bomb etc.)

I don't think the graphics rule is very good. How would you tell the sprites apart?

Oh, I forgot.

You can only change one thing: add any one letter you want in size 9 default font to it's center.

Re: Juststickman's summer AI competition

Awesome  smile  I'm going to participate in this  smile


One question, I assume that once fired a projectile can't switch between homing and straight, am I correct?

I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: Juststickman's summer AI competition

There's no deadline yet, so don't worry guys (school isn't over for me yet :0)!

BTW the reason I said you can't modify the robot too much is that I intended to also make a proper AI (no cheating hax power) that uses color detection.

Fine, you can add graphics >.>

The reason you can't is color detection. If you use the color of a wall/water/lava, it would be cheap. So just avoid those colors.

Can you have guided missiles?
it is kind of like a homing missile, but it can go around walls (by the way, can bullets go through walls?) and hit the enemy.

Nope :3

It's supposed to be hard to do guided missiles.
