hmm u really get negative angles (directly from the interface)??? 4 me its both times positive... new version???

yeah I get negative angles and positive angles, I don't have subtract/add 360 (to fix them) or anything. This is directly from the interface.

Don't know what version I have, I think it's the latest one.

Maybe your doing something wrong, I dunno.

int i,nofObjs;float distance,direction,objdirection;int type;nofObjs=g_pCore->GetNumObjectsInSight();ofstream output("log.txt",ios::app);for (i=0;i<nofObjs;i++){g_pCore->GetObjectsInSight(i,type,direction,distance,objdirection);output<<"dir:"<<direction<<" dist:"<<distance<<" objdir:"<<objdirection<<endl;}output.close();

I''ve tested it extensively and I am definately not getting any negative angles...

What I''ve done to test it is log the direction of every object that the bot ever sees, then walk him around the map - the direction is invariably positive.

My code is as follows:

int i,nofObjs;float distance,direction,objdirection;int type;nofObjs=g_pCore->GetNumObjectsInSight();ofstream output("log.txt",ios::app);for (i=0;i<nofObjs;i++){g_pCore->GetObjectsInSight(i,type,direction,distance,objdirection);output<<"dir:"<<direction<<" dist:"<<distance<<" objdir:"<<objdirection<<endl;}output.close(); 

I can''t see anything that I''m doing wrong... someone who''s getting negative angles, what exactly are you doing to get them?

i dont think i do something wrong, ive the newest version and its a bug of the mainapp, it has to be fixed!!! bcuz its producing bugs like:

\         / \     E /  \T    /   \   /    \ /     V  

ok tree is T, enemy is E, but hey i cant see the Enemy bcuz ur tree is in front of the enemy, this is a REAL Bug (i dont have preconceived it), but if u add negative angles it will be solved!!!

It seemed that if I were to run my bot for both players in the arena, the data was shared somehow and many times I was only doing half of what I should be doing (like it''s being split up between the two strangely). As an example, I tried to rotate my bot 360 degrees. When I only ran one of my bots, and the other was the sample bot, it ran fine. But when my bot is running for both players, I only rotate 180 degrees. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?

I have found the same error. You can''t see an enemy "behind" a tree at the same angle. One angle should actually be negative.

Why don''t you get a trial version of MSVC ?

As for COM, my suggestion is that you read up on it yourself. Its capabilities are beyond the needs of this contest, and considering the point of this contest is to make it as accessible to everyone as possible while keeping it as simple as possible, COM is certainly not an option. What this contest DOES use is a COM-like design. It''s just tailored to the needs of the application. This allows for flexibility in the future, including data collection, easy recording, and other easily added and fancy features that would not otherwise be (as easily) capable if COM was being used.
