8. #{FIRST STEPS} Learn the API
9. #{FIRST STEPS} Learn the API Sensors • ticks • health • position • health • speed • radar_heading • turret_heading
10. #{FIRST STEPS} Learn the API Sensors • ticks • health • position • health • speed • radar_heading • turret_heading Command • Speed • Heading • radar_heading • turret_heading • fire
11. #{FIRST STEPS} Basic algorithm
12. #{FIRST STEPS} Basic algorithm 1. Sensors
 
 # Gather information
 

13. #{FIRST STEPS} Basic algorithm 1. Sensors 2. Movement 
 # Gather information # Decide where to move
14. #{FIRST STEPS} Basic algorithm 1. Sensors 2. Movement 3. Action # Gather information # Decide where to move # Act accordingly
15. #{FIRST STEPS} Basic targeting and movement in circles
16. #{FIRST STEPS} Basic targeting and movement in circles
17. #{IMPROVE} "First do it, then do it right, then do it better" – Addy Osmani, Google engineer
18. #{IMPROVE} • What doesn't work in my algorithm
19. #{IMPROVE} • What doesn't work in my algorithm • Try to improve it
20. #{IMPROVE} • What doesn't work in my algorithm • Try to improve it "My shots are lost all time because tanks are in movement" !
21. #{IMPROVE} • What doesn't work in my algorithm • Try to improve it "My shots are lost all time because tanks are in movement" ! "I need a better movement strategy"
22. #{IMPROVE} • What doesn't work in my algorithm • Try to improve it "My shots are lost all time because tanks are in movement" ! "I need a better movement strategy" #firstworldproblems
23. #{IMPROVE} "My shot lose all time because tanks are in movement"
24. #{IMPROVE} "My shot lose all time because tanks are in movement" First notion: Apply linear movement principle (MRUA)
25. #{IMPROVE} "My shot lose all time because tanks are in movement" First notion: Apply linear movement principle (MRUA) • We know opponent position in each tick !
26. #{IMPROVE} "My shot lose all time because tanks are in movement" First notion: Apply linear movement principle (MRUA) • We know opponent position in each tick • It's possible to calculate opponent speed
27. #{IMPROVE} "My shot lose all time because tanks are in movement" First notion: Apply linear movement principle (MRUA) • We know opponent position in each tick • It's possible to calculate opponent speed • I can shoot in an estimate future position!
28. #{IMPROVE} "My shot lose all time because tanks are in movement" First notion: Apply linear movement principle (MRUA) • We know opponent position in each tick • It's possible to calculate opponent speed • I can shoot in an estimate future position!
29. #{IMPROVE} "I need a better movement strategy"
30. #{IMPROVE} "I need a better movement strategy" First notion: Circular movement is too limited
31. #{IMPROVE} "I need a better movement strategy" First notion: Circular movement is too limited • But works fine !
32. #{IMPROVE} "I need a better movement strategy" First notion: Circular movement is too limited • But works fine • Bots have simply movement too
33. #{IMPROVE} "I need a better movement strategy" First notion: Circular movement is too limited • But works fine • Bots have simply movement too • Can combine my movement with bots movements
34. #{IMPROVE} "I need a better movement strategy" First notion: Circular movement is too limited • But works fine • Bots have simply movement too • Can combine my movement with bots movements
35. #{IMPROVE} • Make a simply tank (do it)
36. #{IMPROVE} • Make a simply tank • Improve your tank (do it) (do it right)
37. #{IMPROVE} But the question is.... • Make a simply tank • Improve your tank (do it) (do it right)
38. #{IMPROVE} But the question is.... How I know if my tank is better now? • Make a simply tank • Improve your tank (do it) (do it right)
39. #{IMPROVE} But the question is.... How I know if my tank is better now? • Make a simply tank • Improve your tank (do it) (do it right) measure it! (do it better)
40. #{TESTING} "You can’t improve what you can’t measure" – someone with big mind
41. #{TESTING} Before
42. #{TESTING} Before After
43. #{TESTING} Before After NAME = 'I am more awesome'
44. #{THANKS}
