Yeah. It's sad.

Of course, everything beats all my real bots by an even realer margin - although I'm testing a new one now that might be good enough. :]

This should be a nice simple bot for you guys to test with. I'll compete with it, because why not, unless it's so horrendously bad that the competition would be better without it.

I need a bit of help with it too. I can do “SET *@*RANDOM @RANDOM”, but not “SET *@*RANDOM @RANDOM%29+4”.

Make sure you aren't copying an extra ending return. I found that accidentally copying a blank line 33 make MATU's tool reject it.

Now that parentheses work, I think you'll need to do @(RANDOM%29+4), otherwise it's parsed as (@RANDOM)%29+4

And it was delicious! Play TBGs! Check out my Scheme Interpreter!

Are submissions with less than 32 lines of code allowed? If so, how does the execution behave (looping or NOPs)? What happens when a bot tries to overwrite code after the end of the program?

Side note: my submissions should be coming soon…

Now that ParseValue uses eval, it would be possible to inject arbitrary JS into a bot…

Ok, so it seems that parentheses don't work with @ or * syntax, so you couldn't do, for example, @(RANDOM%4), which a strategy I was trying to come up with relies on

Can you treat all tags the same?

For example, could you successfully detect if an opponent's line had a tag inside like this:

IF *@1 EQUALS @2 3 4
tag
...
...

Or would you have to specify the name of each bot like this:

IF *@1 EQUALS @2 3 4
tag (bot name here)

?

If I copy the tag of an “opponent” where at least one of their tags has just been set to mine, can I now copy their other tags without giving them free points?

I don't think you can.

Also, you gave me an idea…

I think we have the same idea, then.

Ooh, that's actually not what I was planning to do. Now I'm excited to see how you'll pull it off, as I can't see a way to get the individual parts of a specific line. Maybe you're not thinking of anything like that though.

I have a pretty good bot already, but I'll give you what I was thinking:
First, bait a bot into tagging you.
There's a few lines/line, depending on how thorough you want to be of code which can immobilize a player. Hint: Plant a piece of code in your opponent that does something along the lines of this:

SET EXECUTION_POINTER 1 // Line 1

Once you've “paralyzed” the bot, you search for a tag until you get a match. Then, replace all their tags with your tags. This means that if you catch a bot with sophisticated AI, you'll be able to use that sophisticated AI to do the tagging for you!

Oh, right. I knew about the paralyzing already, I'm using it in the bot I'm making right now.

I was thinking vaccine more like learning from what the bot does to change your own code to prevent getting paralyzed/hacked by that type of bot, but that would obviously be way too complex for this challenge.
