Yet another: The bot''s view frustrum is radially curved at a distance of 160u, or so it appears. The debug view''s output, however, shows a back plane instead of a back curve in the bot''s view frustrum. It would be helpful (at least a little) if the debug view reflected the actual frustrum.

Well, I think the fov should be 180 degrees, that is from -90 to +90 instead of just 80 degrees (-40 to +40) considering real-life situations.

Just a suggestion. What d''you think?

I would, but it wouldn''t be very realistic because you can only see details at a certain fov in front of you. You can see things peripherally, but not in detail.. what I do want to do is include a small circle around the bot as part of the visibility check. Someone suggested it.


Well, maybe for peripheral vision, it should be possible for the bot to respond to moving object(s) (in this case, that would be the enemy); so maybe a 80-degree fov for static objects and the 180-degree fov for dynamic object(s)...
I think you should be able to see any rocks or trees that enter your FOV, not just rocks and trees that have their centres within your FOV. The same goes for walls - if any part of a wall is in your FOV, you should be able to see it, not just if a perpendicular line is in your FOV.

Edit: A larger arena would be nice, too.

The best thing about the internet is the way people with no experience or qualifications can pretend to be completely superior to other people who have no experience or qualifications.
I don''t know if its been mentioned or not.
But would it possible to add a fixed seed mode, so that the arena plays the same way each time you run it? This would be helpful for debugging.

I request an energy meter or something similar. Currently there is no real reason why you would want to use slow rotate and slow walk. If you had a replenishing energy meter they could become useful.
I request ammo count in the app (at the bottom of the screen like health), and maybe part of the contest could be hit% and accurcy, or something.

Slow rotate lets you angle yourself more accurately, and is therefore useful for aiming.

Request: OBJ_BIG_ROCK and OBJ_SMALL_ROCK instead of OBJ_ROCK. (Because of their different radius.)
