OLD NEWS |
I'm a somebody | ||
Noticed today that I'm on the planet quake Who's Who list. (Under programmers). Also, the lack of updates/progress is due to work; I am a tour guide for Bi Way's Cycle Tours, which has kept me busy lately. |
Mars Pathfinder | ||
Mars Pathfinder landed succesfully on Mars today at 9:57 PDT. Go check out the web page, etc.; very cool stuff :) |
Ability Summary | ||
The summary page was updated with some new navigation information. |
More Notes | ||
I put an algorithm for determining if a point is inside a polygon on the developer notes page. |
Button | ||
There is now a "mikeBot now" button:![]() |
Banner | ||
I added the animated banner, and made the newspaper articles into columns. I am working on floor-polygon-based navigation, now, as the low-level stuff (avoid walls, lava, random roaming) is done. I also added a counter yesterday. |
More Updates | ||
Big update gap; oh well. Itchy Bot was added to the links page, and more pages were given various small updates. Have fun. |
Updates | ||
The mikeBot Language page was updated, as was the navigation, fire summary page. |
Skill | ||
Added a percentage-based skill setting; it sets his probability of hitting. |
Navigation ! | ||
mikeBot navigates! Albiet very crudly. Read about it on the navigation section of the summary page. |
Links | ||
I added some AI, a-life links. |
mbl- updated | ||
The mikeBot Language Spec. was updated, adding (many) socket commands and a couple more say commands. Please send me your feedback. |
Summary Updated | ||
The Navigation and Firecontrol summary was updated with more navigation information and a new section thoughtfully titled "other". |
Sometimes-miss | ||
mikeBot will now occationally miss his targets (on purpose). Read the explanation in the navigation, firecontrol summary. |
FAQ | ||
I wrote a client-side quake bot FAQ. |
Fire Plans | ||
Discussion of mikeBot's amazing tendency to always hit his target resulted in new fire plans. |
mikeBot language | ||
I added some more mbl- commands to the human-bot portion of the language standard. The socket portion is awaiting the organization of some sort of discussion between us bot authors... |
Progress | ||
The progress page was updated again. |
Progress | ||
Finally got around to updating the progress page. mikeBot now has proxyVision (doesn't allow the clients to control mikeBot in any way) and is learning graphs for the BSPs. |
Summary added | ||
A summary of the capabilities of mikeBot's navigation and firecontrol subsystems has been added. It is in "plain" language... |
Nav updated | ||
The navigation section now has a description of the genetic algorithm (GA) I plan on using to get better target selection parameters... |
Demo Fixed | ||
People having problems downloading mikebot4.zip: your problems are over. I re-uploaded it and everything looks fine. |
Bad Place Blasted | ||
mikeBot's newest action movie has been released, and features mikeBot killing with abandon in The Bad Place, avoiding lava and generally having a whole lot a' fun. |
New Look |
Seeming to follow in the footsteps of version 0.1, the next release
of mikeBot's client-server source, featuring improved entity tracking,
easy entity and weapon determination, better demo recording and more
user commands, again sliped through the hands of the mikeBot Project
Security and into the so-called "public domain" beyond the
Project buildings. Project leader Mike was quick to point out, however,
that mikeBot version 0.2 is still copyrighted by him and is in to way
even remotely GNU.
Version 0.2 Source Missing
