how many 'points' would you assign to an 'evasion' in Arena 3?
Simply say that the longer a bot lasts in comparison to others, the better overall rank it gets.
Which is exactly what I was thinking and trying to explain above.Simply say that the longer a bot lasts in comparison to others, the better overall rank it gets.
say in the Kill count round 5 out of 8 bots killed no bots, then one of these 5 bots would be allocated a score of 1, another 2, ... and another 5, which is clearly unfair.
Well, I was kinda thinking that maybe instead of each one getting a different number if they tied, they could each get the same number of points. Although, I'm not sure if they should each get 1, 5, or maybe even 3?Thinking about it a bit, I think they should each get the highest, because for example, if bots 2-6 tied, then
- that still sets them below number 7 and above number 1.
- number 1 would have been that far behind at least one of them anyways
- it doesn't penalize them for tieing, the only one 'penalized' would be the one bot below the tie-ers (1), which didn't tie, since it would be 5 behind every one above.
- I think if any bots are going to be penalized, it shouldn't be the tie-ers, so that leaves the bots below the tie-ers.
I'll work on that code.
Sounds good. P.S. Did you catch John's post in the previous thread?
Yes, but I don't have time to look at the XML stuff. As for his bot code, I don't think we need any help there, since it would most likely not match our situation anyways.
