Heya, me checking in again. This is where I'm at: I've analyzed all of the non-portable classes to find out what they do. I'm now matching these with...
... DeletionReporter only supports one listener at the moment; it needs to keep a list instead. This should probably actually be a single shared list, to save...
... It used to be that way. I switched to GBApplication since it reduced the number of arguments to GBPortal's constructor by one. It also seems less unmodular...
... This is probably just because it's a new game. As the level of play increases, every serious side may turn out to do some of the same things. Most everyone...
... These are equivalent, but I see what you mean psychologically: I'm trying to "crush the giants" for not being what I expected. Friction (or maybe engines)...
... We thought vaguely about this years ago, but we were satisfied with constant returns since they're simple, and much better than RoboWar's increasing...
I don't know if you want to go down this road but: One extension of the idea of damage makes weapons, etc. less effective would be the effect on repairs. You...
After a long period of not having time to play Grobots.I got a chance to play some this weekend. Rather then building a good side, I decided to try building an...

Heya, I've gotten things put together here and there and decided to try to compile it... its been interesting, here are things I'm running across: 1) "long...
A couple of registers that you probably should have: max-robot-results - maximum number of results possible grenades-radius - radius of grenade explosion ...
... We believe "long long" is part of a newish standard version of C++. Our compiler needs a compiler switch to accept it. Try reading your compiler's ...
... I'll check my Docs, but I know I can get 64bit vars on my platform. ... Ah, thanks, will do. ... turns ... I'll give it a shot, currently I've casted all...
The other day I got set to write tirade about how bad garden was. I thought it was constructed only to reduce cell size. Then I looked at the comments and...
I put up a new version of Business cycle. It adds a new type and changes the way missile distribute themselves. They are kept closer to try to blast some of...
... Garden has a seeding problem. With seeds of 5000, it starts with too much gardener and too little crop, so it grows slowly at first. With seeds of 20000,...
... Stunners are another of the many ideas that were included in old Grobots designs, then taken out because they didn't seem necessary. ... Stunners in...
... It's probably defining it to be (void *)0 or something. ... It's just a preference. ... This is sort of how it works now. We do it in two dimensions, ...
I don't know if your interested. I spent a little time playing with what I called binary collision. A better name might be adaptive tile collision. I starts...
... Offense should become less important as more sides get good defense, and survival increases. Offense only works when your kill ratio is better than your...
I think there may be a problem with you methods for the KOTH tournament. Certain sides seems to have a rock/paper/scissors effect on others. One sides score...
... A "broad spectrum" is fine if that means a lot of good sides, but not if it means half the roster is obselete or defenseless. It's not terribly interesting...
... (upload upload upload...) There, is that better? :) - Devon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier....
Sorry for not getting any work done on this lately. Things have been hectic in my life. I finally got my computer back together and running again, so I ...
... Syphons (of both kinds) can now be of arbitrary range, specified by a second hardware argument, which defaults to 1. The hardware cost increases linearly...
... I remember now. :) I wrote a side (Sucker) in about ten minutes that uses them, and it's way too powerful, even after two rule changes to weaken it....
I haven't seen anything that can successfully stun opponents since 'gnats' and 'life and death' were on the scene. I figured once that you would need a 4...
