About the robot

robocode-raw-zero is a Robocode robot implementing the following basic strategy in one on one combat:

Keep moving
Try to stay perpendicular to the quadrant the enemy is in
Fire proportionally to distance from target
Fire ahead of enemy's direction of movement to distance from target
Lock Radar on to enemy

robocode-raw-zero is a Robocode robot implementing the following basic strategy in melee combat:

Keep moving
Head to a corner stay there moving perpendicular to the center
Return to one on one combat once only one other robot remains
Fire full power with > 3 enemies (you will likely hit something)

Specifics

Movement:

During one on one combat Zero finds the enemy robot and determines what quadrant it is in
Quadrant

0 lower left
1 upper left
2 upper right
3 lower left

Based this it performs three basic movements:

Runs a diagonal perpendicular to the quadrant
Backs away from the quadrant while moving inward
Forward toward the quadrant moving outward

If the enemy robot changes quadrants it updates its movement pattern.

Targeting:

Scans and targets a specific robot. Use a radar lock to keep track of this robot.

Firing:

Whenever it scans a robot, it will fire if that robot is in range.
Power level is inversely proportional to distance from target.

Vulnerabilities:

There are many opportunities for improvement of this robot. It does not attempt to avoid other robots and does nothing when colliding with another robot. It does not save any information about other robots between rounds in order to improve its strategy.
