Except for the fact he could create Sub routines he could insert without having to remake the whole program, besides that little feature he missed everything was pretty good
Yup, he figured out a way around that... There's another way too, the bots have the ability to add a 'tag' to anything, which they can use to help make decisions, So he could change it to, move to the closest resource that is tagged by me, then if nothing is tagged by me, tag the resource furthest away. This way it will still pick the resource furthest away but won't change targets later as it gets closer.
You can really make them a lot more effective by changing it so instead of 'flee from the closest enemy' when their shields are low, they 'flee from all enemies attacking me'. This way, they will still start backing off when their shields get low, but the second the enemy stops going for them and focuses on someone else, nobody will be attacking them any more, so they'll stop retreating and go right back on the attack while their shields regenerate. Basically, during a fight, anyone who gets low shields will just step back a tiny bit, let the enemy focus someone closer, and then they'll be safe to go right back to ripping into them. You can also do stuff to make your bots focus fire when they fight so you take the enemy bots down faster (lots of ways to do that).
is called practice. The longer you will do it, the more you will acquire this kind of a mindset. Just in general, have fun coding! Found a bug that destroys your intended way of doing something? great, make a whole project based around it! The mindset I have while coding is just do whatever in as funky way as you like, if it works in the end, all that matters is that you had fun experimenting, and the experimenting makes you remember ways to do things which in turn speed up the whole process next time you code. And hey, maybe you will find something you didnt know about? If you want to get into coding, I recommend JavaScript because its a really easy and fun language and it allows for so much freedom. Not only that, you also get to never do graphics if you dont want bc web browsers use JS! Try W3Schools, they have a great interactive documentation.
Jon actually noticed things and solved problems efficiently. Amazing. The only thing is that he didn't notice sub-routines but oh well, nice job. Perception +1
Im gladia-played this game~ I know it's still in Alpha so I never expected you play it. But yeah, I'm glad you like it too~ This game is basically a good way to teach programming fundamentals to kids~
If you like programming in games you should check out inFamous 2's UGC: User Generated Content, which let's you create your own missions. You get the entire game map to use _(provided you've completed enough of the story to unlock the whole thing, though the "starting" quarter is still huge)_ you can set the time of day, place props like cars, fences, and trees, effects like lighting, fire and explosions wherever you like. You can place people/monsters, set them as allies or enemies to you and each other, then tell them what to do, how to react etc. You get to create cutscenes and write text dialogue. Control the spawning of general pedestrians and traffic, either city-wide or in a specific area, making the city really busy, completely empty or anything between. You actually place control nodes into the world to make it all work _(they're invisible during gameplay)_ and physically connect them with wires. Like connecting an 'IF ' to a 'Then' like "IF object1 is destroyed - THEN spawn object2' etc. You also get to name everything and put them all into separate groups to keep them in memorable order.
You know, the sniper has 100% hit chance in close, mid and long range, so it will NEVER miss when shooting at an enemy that is in range. Your AI for the sniper was just flawed, causing it to shoot at the bot with lowest shield as long as ANY enemy bot is within range. In other words, if there's an enemy bot with 2% shield in range of the sniper and there's one with 0% shield out of range, the sniper will fire at the one that is out of range and miss, while it might have been able to kill the one with 2% if it had shot at that one...
Well, to be honest, it did do for some tension building, even if it's just Jon with his infamous perception skills :D Gotta give him credit though, the AI was competent enough to win any major fight
today we learned that in jon's world, basketball is called fotball as the balls are clearly basket balls and the balls are dropped into the goal instead of kicked xD
Just found out about this game. Been playing it on my phone. Made an AI so my assault bots stutter step. They walk when their shot is on cooldown, shoot, then walk again.
Gotta disagree. It scored some convenience balls and acted as reinforcement cycle delay bait. A fairly worthwhile AI base for a team based around baiting and picking off.
It's not the Sweeper AI that's useless, it's the shotgun platform that is unfit for the role. It can get to the ball only a tiny bit faster than others, but once it has the ball it slows down to a crawl, wasting a lot of time. And yet it's not even fast enough to steal the farthest balls away from the enemy anyway.
J. B. He's been doing streams on Sundays and he doesn't want to have a 3 hour long stream and 2 videos, one being about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Just spreading the content a bit more evenly
Jon was surprisingly competent and perceptive this episode...
*...DEAR GOD*
Except for the fact he could create Sub routines he could insert without having to remake the whole program, besides that little feature he missed everything was pretty good
The key part is he actually did things that worked, and when it didn't he actually *noticed the problem* and fixed them *correctly.*
Margaret looks after him in this game :D
all this proves is that claire found a really good voice simulator...
Or Jon is commentating while Claire is playing as if it were his own gameplay.
I like how the Sweeper is basically the Golden Snitch dude.
LeiFlux07 lol. Pretty much
The sweeper is okay, but the choice of the robot to fill the role could not be worse.
How could it not be worse?
The “Golden Snitch dude” is called a “Seeker” (I only know because I binge watched the HP movies for the last few days). :D
SEEKER! They even sound the same!
This was surprisingly satisfying for it being a programming game and we all know how that ends with matn, but it worked out this time.
Impressive how Jon has managed to reverse all football roles' purpose
so, the problem with going for the furthest-away-ball is that when you get closer to it is is no longer the furthest away = change target ball...
Watch the full ep first...
Yup, he figured out a way around that... There's another way too, the bots have the ability to add a 'tag' to anything, which they can use to help make decisions, So he could change it to, move to the closest resource that is tagged by me, then if nothing is tagged by me, tag the resource furthest away. This way it will still pick the resource furthest away but won't change targets later as it gets closer.
Jon is where I get my source of games that should be in my steam library
Sees title: oh that could be fun
Sees programming interface: Oh god. No. Please Jon. No.
Grumbles to self: This Is gonna hurt....
Jon! Do this as a live stream!
Mr No Buddies That would be sweet... if he learns the programs first and has some presets done up!
Nah, HR SIM was great because he wasnt 100% on it.
If only your task was to find equidistant points between balls, that Shotgun AI would have been great.
Gladiabots, ready!
Contestants, ready!
This looks like a good stream game where Jon and Claire play against each other.
Have a great weekend everyone!

3, 2, 1, Activate!
If programming was this easy tho
Looks alot like node based programming.
I mean, it is. This is just a visual way to code which loks easy, but in reality is way harder because it limits your possibilities.
it's not about only knowing what to write or what to drag, you need right mindset for it is what i meant

UE4 actually has something very similar to this. A visual node based way to create AI behaviour.

MOAR GLADIABOTS!! Keep up the good work!
Wow wasn’t expecting Jon to play this
Im gladia-played this game~ I know it's still in Alpha so I never expected you play it. But yeah, I'm glad you like it too~ This game is basically a good way to teach programming fundamentals to kids~
looks like a great game! Really enjoyed watching this
You have to play more of this! This game is amazing
This actually makes football intresting to watch.
This game has me on the edge of my seat far more often than actual footbal/soccer games
This was incredible, please play more
It's coming hoooome!
football's coming hoooome...!
No, it really isn't.
I was gonna say, you've been getting into some programming games and it's peaked my interest tbh XD
This game seems really cool! I would love to see more!
If this becomes a popular game, there is a Ranked scene for doing this.
You seriously play the coolest games
Find a way to fit this as a series in your schedule. Or maybe do a livestream with this I don't know. Just I need more Jon! I need more!
Jonnnn either at least a part 2 or a livestream!!!
This game looks pretty good now, I hope they add more robot varieties in the full release.
+1 perception -1 intuition
I would love to see a series on this game
Didja notice that the machine gunner is the only bot that DOESN'T slow down when it has a payload? Might be useful to have them collect balls as well.
This is perfect livestream material.
this game is too good
Is the music original? If so, MASSIVE respect and admiration to the creators.
Sounds like another good streaming game
Please make this a series.

It's like England in the World Cup.
Would love to see this in a livestream!
This reminds of the time my friends and I designed a version of rugby but with guns.

Gotta give him credit though, the AI was competent enough to win any major fight
thank you for showing this game, im gonna buy it!
We need more
Can Jon ever resist a shotgunner? No. No he can't!
Why are the views for this so low? This video is great
Those balls look like falafel or some crunchy truffle
I would so watch a livestream of this
I remember playing a Flash game pretty similar to this about a decade ago, I wonder if the developers of this were inspired by it.
Make this a series, please.
This looks like one of those games that looks really well made, and great to watch, but sadly I am not good at it
today we learned that in jon's world, basketball is called fotball as the balls are clearly basket balls and the balls are dropped into the goal instead of kicked xD
"The sniper is focusing on the wrong person!" He says AS it kills something
Robotics class certainly would have been much more interesting had they allowed us to mount machine guns on our bots.
I played this on my phone for a few minutes... interesting stuff
You did pretty good 😊
Just found out about this game.
Been playing it on my phone.

Can you do another episode?
Sweeper AI was so useless ^^

It's not the Sweeper AI that's useless, it's the shotgun platform that is unfit for the role.

And yet it's not even fast enough to steal the farthest balls away from the enemy anyway.
All the others move at .5 speed when they carry a ball too. At least, that's what it says.
Ah, you're right. I was looking at the wrong parameters. So yeah, I guess the platform was good. But still the AI program wasn't well put together.
We want more
If you want a programming game, play Elevator Saga. It is free, and it is easy because it is just Javascript.
Do you think Jon has ever actually played or even seen football? Or does he just think all vaguely sports related things are football?
Jon has probably SEEN football hundreds of times. The question is, did he precept it? :D
Perceive. Precept means something quite different.
Darn it, Jon! Why did you have to upload this before it releases! XP
oneMeVz its a free mobile game.
i hate seeing amazing games that aren't out yet.
Stephen Kenny it is on mobile. its. free too! check your playstore. its pretty much identical
If you use Fibonacci you instawin the game Jon! Do a Fibonacci algorithm!
MOAR
Wow i am really sad I can't play this game right now, it looks dope!
RaidsEpicly you can. it is a free mobile game on android at least
I want to play Gladiabots PVP...
They're planning a PVP right?
I know it might be a bit much however if you want to get into a slightly more serious programming thing try kOS for kerbal space program.
But Crusader Kings 2, though...
That's supposed to be on Thursdays and Sundays. I don't know why he's been releasing that on Saturdays. I'd expect more of CK2 tomorrow.
J. B. He's been doing streams on Sundays and he doesn't want to have a 3 hour long stream and 2 videos, one being about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Just spreading the content a bit more evenly
The Sub-AI can be used for this.
As a programmer, watching you do this without a lot more conditions triggers me
I feel like there's a programming joke in here somewhere, but as a non-programmer, I can't find it.
More!
The main menu look like roboscorpions from Big MT
Ahhhh....High School Robotics Class
Please do a Rome Total War Barbarian Invasion LP!!!!
Moreeee please!
This reminds me of FFXII gambit system.
Jon vs Claire robot championship
Do another one
How much will it be?
Jake Theberge get it for free on the playstore mate
Retreats before shield even breached? Jon has invented the robot Futeball flop.
More more more!
One look at the title and I understand why you would pick this game...
MATN plays x86 assembly
Maybe the sweeper AI is kinda just bad compared to everything else.
its free in the playstore btw
Moooooooooooooore
Use sub ai's more it will help you
Aka smartphone game
