  1. Robocode is a bot AI arena where it's all targeting bots all the time. What you're talking about falls under the category of Linear Targeting here: http://robowiki.net/cgi-bin/robowiki?Targeting That site should be helpful. Btw I believe that the arc tangent function will give you the angle between two points that you are looking for without interpolation. You would of course need to factor in the two velocity vectors to come up with a full firing solution. You might have to interpolate. I'm too lazy to go much further. And yet still I went further than BlueWyvern who thinks he knows physics.

    Pie

    I don't remember anyone asking for spam pie. Sounds like something they would serve in the UK or Hawaii.

  4. If rc was banned that's one thing, but if his account was reset it sounds like it went one step further into "I'll show you, rc, that my e-penis is bigger" mod abuse. I'd hope that HS staff, whom I have rarely seen abuse, would be above that kind of petty retribution against players.
  5. Shorten it down to 'field negger' and you've got something. People on basing teams will call out "we need a field negger" and not get bant.

  8. They do that anyway even with multiple pub freqs. In fact I'd suggest it's worse right now because the pubs keep coming in waves whereas if they were all in one big freq the attackers would get a break once in awhile. The flanking problem IMO would be better solved by moving the HS gate safezones away from base entrances so lancs don't park there (and runwinning would be harder as a bonus). Everyone knows now that pub flagging = asking for freq hoppers. If this really got to be a problem I'm sure that freq locking once all 20 flags are collected like on EG could be implemented. Power to the newb cannon-fodder fleet!

  10. At the risk of stating the obvious... Why not abolish limits for pub freqs altogether? So the whole server gangs up on the priv freq. So what, they're vets on a priv freq, they should have to be challenged. If the pub freq wins, the jp is hopelessly split across many people, so it's not like the motivation to go priv goes away. I'm sure flagholders on the pub freq will break away and start their own priv freqs to steal the jp, starting the cycle over again. If you're worried about 1 giant pub freq ganking everyone, well, that state never lasts very long because 1 giant pub freq doesn't make any money.

  16. I could see this as a 'Blaze of Glory' suicide weapon if the bullets had zero speed so you had to fly right into your target and fire. Seems like a mine or bomb with safety off would be a more satisfying implementation though.

  18. I hope everyone starts to realize that this is a hacker troll, not the "real Chronic". GJ hacker troll, you've been fooling everyone (else). I'll nominate you for the Troll-of-the-Year awards.
  19. Anybody have a spare life for Chronic to borrow for the next year?
  20. Wow, I was just kidding about the tears earlier. I'm psychic-o. Take a break from Continuum. I'm currently on one. It's amazing how much more productive your life is without it.
  21. I want to sit in safe and be a baker FTW. There are a lot of older games where players need to buy raw materials from outposts and deliver them to shops in order to manufacture items. This creates a cooperative dynamic where everybody needs the cargo to keep flowing, and it can also create some cooperative play between vets and newbs running cargo missions on their behalf. It also opens up the opportunity for pirate role-playing. It would be interesting to scatter some "mining colonies" in HS from which you can do cargo runs to shops at a profit. The shops' item production in turn would be constrained by how much raw materials are being brought to it. You can have teams and squads working together to do cargo runs and raid trade routes. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this to happen.

    Pie

    I could not let the pie topic die with "Canadian pies FTW" and then some mod (Canadian mod, no doubt--they are sneaky) closes the topic. Canadian pies? What do you put in those, mayonnaise? Eh? In any case, the correct answer was American Apple Pie, the pie that protects the free world with its mighty heftiness and brown sugar.
  23. reiterate
  24. I think I hear the drip-drop of tears raining down on Chronic's keyboard. Get a clue and learn which orifice Fat Cat has a problem with stuffing stuff down.
