My bot's update cycle is taking too long... sniff

Akinwale Ariwodola · 2003-10-30T08:45:28

Why, oh why? Why me? Ok, well, when I run my bot in release mode against SampleBot, I don''t get the UpdateCycle took too long message, but when I run it against the other submitted contest bots, it keeps on generating the message. Why is this so? What could possibly make the Update cycle to take long to make the program to stop? And btw, when DustBot is one of the bots, the match doesn''t start. I good you bid evening.

The .dll that I submitted was built in release mode...

[edited by - Dcower on October 27, 2003 12:36:56 AM]

I thought it was built in debug because of its file size..
My bot has the smallest file size .

and my bot has the largest sourcecode

, but i will rewrite him for the next contest, to get him smaller, smarter, faster etc. (the current version is just a huge piece of **** to test some stuff)

quote: Err..I did run it in Debug mode and it usually killed my updated bot... *sigh* It only times out when it sees my bot running amuck..

hmm could be a problem with the nade''s (havent solved it yet).. havent solved any bugs (unwanted behavior) in my bot yet, damn

...and my bot will probably not be updated anymore for this contest (i hope he doesnt do any crap in the contest-runs :D)...

Well, I''m glad I''m not the only one with screwed up stuff... (nades still don''t work well (on 4th angle algorithm), still runs around like an idiot, still is very stupid)...
