Great! Thank you!

With the max ticks increased to 2000 does this mean the maps are going to get bigger for the tournaments?

The reason I’m asking is because if you have 4 basic path finding bots running they can clear all the pellets on both given worlds before the 1000 ticks anyway.

I guess what I’m actually asking is, what will the first tournament’s specs be if you can give us more information around that?

Things like:

Map size
Number of zookeepers
Portals (from one side of the map to the other) enabled or not
Will any power ups be announced before then - that kind of thing

Thanks!

Thanks, any chance we could get a 2d version or rotatable map, cannot really see the characters.

Hi @styphoiz!
Thanks for the feedback. We just adjusted it to have a better camera angle for now, we might look at rotating later. We’ve updated the GitHub release with the new version, so please download again, and let us know if you have any issues :slight_smile:

I agree,

My own bot is a measure better than the reference bot and we almost clear the bot,

I doubt there will be time for powerups before event 1,

Ima try your visualiser, mines a bit rough :yum:

Question:
How can I speed things up,

Feels like im dealing with Flash from Zootopia…
