Have you tried testing out my new revision 6, anyone? As I've said, I changed it to something else…

I've been including it in my tests, but it hasn't fared well

So I made a test bot:

SET DIRECTION RANDOM
MOVE
TAG
SET EXECUTION_POINTER 1

It gains no points against another bot I wrote. It doesn't even appear to be tagging anything. I've checked that it's moving near people and can tag, but I ran a full match and nothing gained any points.

I then did this to make sure it wasn't a problem with direction:

SET DIRECTION RANDOM
MOVE
TAG
SET EXECUTION_POINTER 2

Still nothing.

Am I doing something wrong?

SET *@(something) @(my line with tag)

Whoops

I just realized I had a huge error in detecting enemy bots (thanks to @TheMonsterOfTheDeep)
The issue was that it would detect bots on the wrong axis (so if direction was up or down, it would search left or right)

It's fixed now, but it may affect scores

Hmm. Now everyone is super peaceful, not a single attack/point. Am I missing something?

I was thinking of joining in on the brawl with a bot, but… well… none of the bots seem to be doing anything, except to slowly move around randomly… eventually chrome crashed when I added a 10th submission.

Just saying, I haven't scored a single point against anyone with either WonkThePlank or OverWriter. What's the point of the tag code if it doesn't work properly?

I just did a few test runs with WonkThePlank and OverWriter. They're definitely tagging each other, I can see it happening, but neither of them are getting any points. Meanwhile, when I put something like stinger or copybot into it, they get points no problem. Is this like biased towards better coded bots or something?

EDIT: Also, with WonkThePlank and OverWriter, the point counter disappears when the game starts or it just doesn't show up at all when I import them. However, this never happens with other bots.

Looking at both of those bots, neither have any means of transmitting their TAG…

Revision 2

PROTECT @3
SET DIRECTION RANDOM
MOVE
IF *@2 EQUALS @15 1 1
IF *@2 EQUALS @17 1 1
SET EXECUTION_POINTER 1
TAG

Protect my third line. (MOVE)
Point in a random direction.
Move forward.
If my opponent's second line equals my fifteenth line (which doesn't exist), run line 1, otherwise run line 1. (what actually happens - Run line 1 if I'm facing an opponent.)
If my opponent's second line equals my seventeenth line (which doesn't exist), run line 1, otherwise run line 1. (what actually happens - Run line 1 if I'm facing an opponent.)
Go back to the first line.
TAG (never transmitted)

Why would you want to transmit a TAG? That would just give the other person more of a chance to tag you, right? How does tag work and why is it so complicated?
