AI-ing (.py files, coding, nose-orienting R+D, and help)

Any .py to convert to a crawler if the wheels fall off?
I want to AI this:

[Badnik96]

I win the wildcard :P

and I don't know about the PY. Maybe ask Mad?

[JoeBlo]

could be done using the weapons attribute of the bindings and some python tweaking / rewriting

[Squirrel_Monkey]

*Asks politely whether anyone has time to do this*

[JoeBlo]

What else?

Paypal so people can give me monies when I do stuff for them 

for Thyrus's tourney ? if I have the time I will do it when I do my AI for said tournament

but I will need the bot file

Thanks, Joe...
SM, just for curiosity's sake, 'convert' to what?

oh hai mammoth

so when the wheels fall off you want the two different weapon motors to spin different ways, making it bumble-bee like in it's attack?

 
 

[JoeBlo]

I assumed to make the weapon motors spin counter directions making it an SnS...

full movement would be worth the time as it needs something to push off against which will probably be destroyed soon after the wheels

What is the 'math.pi' value of a bot who's Forward Heading has been rotated one 'bit' more than 180 degrees?

[JoeBlo]

ummm rebuild LOL (honestly I keep track of nose positions for easy AI when building)

you have to start working with small numbers (I cannot recall how many forward points there is)

math.pi*0.25 or -math.pi*0.25 I think... its really a trial and error thing

[Naryar]

Did you even got trigonometry lessons joey ? It's math.pi*11/10

Did you even 'get' english lesson Naryar? 
 
only teasing you

Not as much as you native speakers :P

*tries to remember not to make that same mistake again*

I was on my way out and was thinking about something else to do with AI

anyway one more radial then 180 degrees should be (providing GK is accurate with what he wrote)

7pi / 6

so math.pi*7/6

[G.K.]

Well I failed quite miserably there lol. I worked out that it was math.pi*0.55. Is there a picture showing all of these?

[JoeBlo]

math.pi*2 is the default heading when you dont change it.. so as I said if you provided the correct details with (just past 180)

[Madiaba]

Hehe, you guys' interaction is funny.    And your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
 
Anyway, here is the work done GK,.. (though it's good to understand the math/logic).
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.
 
 

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.

You might copy this to the top of your Bindings.py for easy reference.

I'm helping Thyrus AI some SnS'es for his tourney, but one keeps alternating between spinning CW and CCW for ages, before it eventually spins in one direction.

Here's the AI line:

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("Scarlet Transmission","FBS_1",{'invertible':True,'SpinDirection(1/-1)':1,'ReMobilizeRoutineTime(10-60)':60,'PreSpinEntrance':20,'range':30,'radius':0.1, 'topspeed':100, 'throttle':130, 'turn':60, 'turnspeed':3,'weapons':(0,)}))

[Madiaba]

GK, lower the
         'ReMobilizeRoutineTime(10-60)':60 
to 20 or so...

[G.K.]

Will do.
