is there a way to get your current position?
if i understand how the bot interface is going to work correctly, i don''t believe that there will be a function that returns your definite world-oriented coordinates. any information your bot receives about coordinates of perceived objects in the arena will be relative to the bot itself (just like in real life! when you see a tree you don''t know it''s absolute, GPS coordinates, you only know it''s relative location to yourself and other objects you can see around you). in my opinion this is what is going to make this contest so challenging! traditional game ai techniques wont be so easy to apply.
however, i could be totally off base here...this is just how i think the interface is going to work.
