That's a great question, looking at the code i do not see much difference between spinner and directionnal spinner. Is there really a difference ? where is it defined ?

The only significant difference that I can see is that Spinner uses the RobotInRange function to do something while DirectionalSpinner doesn't.

I don't remember and I can't find that AI.py. Don't know who wrote that one, either. Could one of you guys PM it to me please,... though I would trust Phil and Trov's assessment.

OK.
1. My computer was infested with viruses, and Hamachi is deleted and gone for a good while.

Mad: I will PM the bots to you as soon as I can.

Here it is and I paralleled like sections so you can see for yourselves:

directionnal spinner inherits from spinner, that mean it does eveything spinner does as long as it dosen't overwrite the function. for instance the 'RobotInRange' function used for directionnal spinner is the same as the one for spinner.

In fact, the only 'add-on' of directionnal spinner seems to be its capability to rename the trigger with something else than 'Spin'.

am i wrong ?

I sent the bots. What do you want to do with them?

maybe new hybrids from counter-nature experiments !

Here's a handy AI.py: 'OmniRam_EnergyMiser'. It is a version of 'OmniRam' with an appended energy(Battery) saver. It uses an analog control to switch on/off quick-spin-up weapon motor(s). It turns the weapon motor off whenever the nearest enemy is 'x' (user set) distance away, thus potentially saving significant Bat. energy for when/where it's needed; toward the opponent (maneuvering and weapons). It is ideal for Face Spinners, etc...) with ramming tactic.

OmniRam_EnergyMiser]OmniRam_EnergyMiser

It is simple to use and the instructions are in the AI.py, including sample Bindings line. It was written for one of Somebody's bots that was weak on energy. Thought it'd be useful to save energy in general too, because many matches have been won/lost on available energy, for sure.
PM or post any questions or feedback.

I've already used that energy save feature (a great idea) on one of my sawbots.

But rather than a specialized .py, i just use a small 'range' value...

EDIT: Wait, it's "towards the opponent"? It's better than mine then.

the economic crisis is felt here too. It is necessary to save energy.
when will one see a bot with a coal-fired boiler?

Edit : to avoid any misunderstanding, i did not want to oppose Mad and NAr solutions.

I'm gonna guess that it was Pit Viper.

Madiaba · « **Reply #51 on:** January 27, 2009, 03:48:51 PM »

-Nar, I used an analog control instead of a button or switch. As you know they don't always act kosher anyway, but the analog has been the most consistent for accurate on/off control of motors, in my coding experience.

- Phil, Thanks, for your optimistic perspective of my work/me. But je suis juste une personne, and no more. Ceci est juste un passe-temps de prendre une 'pause' de travail. RA2 ne signifie rien dans la vie. I only like the logic of coding, allot like you too. It's fun to figure out. And thanks for your help, with the AI stuff, chart and feedback..

-SB, it was 'Coral Snake'.

Somebody · « **Reply #52 on:** January 27, 2009, 04:57:54 PM »

1 million times thanks for the AIing. Coral Snake was a little lacking in the battery department.

Here SB, for you and anyone else.
This is coming out in the "AI-ing Chart" soon:

Code: [Select]

    # nose is "front" of bot-
        #Nose paradigm: All 360 rotational degrees for "math.pi" are represented by the factor '2'.
            #thus:  '2'=360degrees,   '1'=180degrees,   '0.5'=90degrees,   '0.25'=45degrees.
        #The direction of change(CW/CCW)is determined by the "-" or "+" before the statement.
            #thus: '+' causes rotation CCW,  '-' causes rotation CW.
        #Format examples:
            # " 'nose':math.pi*0.25 "  will rotate the bot 45degrees/CCW.
            # " 'nose':-math.pi*0.25 " will rotate the bot 45degrees/CW.
            # " 'nose':math.pi*0.5 "   will rotate the bot 90degrees/CCW.
            # " 'nose':-math.pi*0.5 "  will rotate the bot 90degrees/CW.
            # " 'nose':math.pi*0.75 "  will rotate the bot 135degrees/CCW.
            # " 'nose':-math.pi*0.75 " will rotate the bot 135degrees/CW.
            # (Make sure there is a comma(,)after the the value # (to separate it from the next characteristic and its value).
            #(-----notes-----)
                # Note1:  "math.pi"   AND   'nose':math.pi*1.0 "   AND  " 'nose': -math.pi*1.0 "   will rotate the bot 180 degrees.
                    #   (The first two are the same, and the last two just rotate different directions to get 180 degrees.} 
                    #   Thus there is no real reason to have a factor greater than '1', 
                    #   since after that you just move into the other half of the circle covered by the other '+' or '-' sign.
                # Note2: "math.pi*0" or "math.pi*2" = the same as no new heading.

Take this and paste it to the top of your Bindings.py for easy reference.

How to use:
1. Find out where your bot is without any nose bias.
2. Then use this chart to turn it to face forward, NP.

Pretty idea to enrich the bindings.py header with all those guidelines. perhaps we may propose a template of bindings.py with other informations.

Somebody · « **Reply #55 on:** February 05, 2009, 04:12:31 PM »

Wow that helps. B01000N should be AIed and working soon, after another rebuild.

This bot is DSL, but you can use this coding in stock too, no prob.

Right, even if you are not interested in SOW, the bindings file starts with a good comment part that everybody should include in its own bindings.py

Naryar · « **Reply #58 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:13:57 PM »

Does anyone know what AI has been used for bots like Inf's Spyguy or Sorrow's Anduril ? (maybe PillarPlus) And how can they be used - i need to AI Corona and i'm clueless about what to do.
