Comet Catcher Challenge/test

[krogothe]

Right, building only basic mexes and solars, as ARM on XTA, how many metal spots can you count in that map?
If you find more than 81 you get a cookie!
Now build a mex on each spot and say how much metal you are making from them (excluding commander).
If you get more than X (which will be announced shortly) you get TWO cookies!

If no one gets a cookie my AI will

[jcnossen]

You should really start doing the grunt work yourself

[krogothe]

Im convinced i cant beat it already!
But AF or someone else might wanna have a go...

[Min3mat]

its 1.9 per mex unless u place em wrong on CC

[krogothe]

There are about 4-5 spots with more than 1.9, the highest one having 3+ metal! I didnt know that until it found it

[AF]

I will play AI's on comet catcher, but my AI is designed to play the game and destroy the enemy, not to count mex patches.

[jcnossen]

Im convinced i cant beat it already!

Beating a program with counting is pretty difficult I guess...

[krogothe]

It doesnt seem really hard to beat a program at placing mexes however, since last i checked most AIs have a bad attitude towards placing mexes correctly

[AF]

mex placement is not soemthign most of us are too good at when automating the process. We seem mroe inclined to other thgisn sucha s improovign voerrall efficiency,implementing new dieas, fixing bgus etc..

I'll change thigns in a mex class to see what hapepns btu I wouldnt start one from scratch. If I did I'd be training neural nets but i havent read all ym neural net research yet.

[krogothe]

Here are the spots that have more metal (for a normal mex divide by 1000):

--x------y----z----Metal
1120 3616 54 2980.800049

Ill post the metal class shortly

[Triaxx2]

Alright, I'm impressed.

[krogothe]

then try it out and let me know if its buggy!

[Triaxx2]

I would, but I'm still waiting for a copy of XP.
