Wow, this ended up occupying a good third of my day. Awesome game.

Per David8696's request, you now use the enter key to select/confirm things instead of the spacebar.
Use either shift to pass the ball when the harvester is up. Not really useful for anything as of now.

What next...

The old dropbox link doesn't have these updates- I just tried it.
Where can I find this version?

Whoops, you're right, I forgot to update the dropbox file. Should work now.

Nice update, playing against 2 enemies on 2 or 3 is really good challenge. If I dare to ask for another change... it would be to make the human player throw the ball in a slightly more advantageous spot. Whenever I go back to the feeding station, the human player always tosses it right past me unless i completely stop and wait for it.

The human players in this game aren't very intelligent- and thus completely realistic!

Needs more G40.

And don't you forget it!

I ran a sketchy calculation based on how long it takes to traverse the field, assuming it is a square robot that is 28in long without bumpers,
and I've concluded it moves at about 14fps. It definitely looks a lot faster though.

Once you figure out how to do it well, it's not a big deal. Don't change this, it's fine as is.

Must beat 190....

1 enemy

[Gregor]

Here's a quick video I threw together, most notable thing is me trying to figure out where the end recording button is...

Anyway, this was a pretty lousy half match followed by a 170 with a few misses, no enemy. Should show you some strategies to get a "perfect cycle," a close to perfect cycle, and how to scramble well.

Boom. Done.

[cjl2625]

Oh wow... Meanwhile, I still haven't topped 120.
From that video, it looks like the key is timing the human player shots.
I'll try that

Where can I get the latest version? I don't have a version that lets me adjust the quantity of "enemies" (or has the first loading screen at all). I'm using the posted dropbox link.
