Robot

A robot is characterized by 5 parameters: attack, shield, speed, location and energy.

• Attack (A): represent the explosive power of the missile.
• Defense (D): represent the strength of the shield
• Speed (S): represents the maximum number of meter the robot can move at once.
• Energy(E): self-explanatory
• Location (L): position of the robot on the axis

Assumptions

• At the beginning of the battle one robot starts at L=0 the other at L=19.
• The battle is round-base: both robots make a move and then the outcome of their move is
• computed
• A missile always hit its target
• A move is either an attack or a movement within the world
• A robot cannot “jump” over each other and they cannot occupy the same space
• A robot dies when its Energy reaches 0 or less.
• Every robot has finite set amount of energy: 100 units.
• Ten units of ability points can be distributed between attack, defense and speed abilities.
• For example: a robot defined by (A=8,D=1,S=1 is strong in attack, but is slow and has weak
• defense.
• Each move consumes an amount of energy calculated by: (DISTANCE/S)*5
• Each missile hit creates a damage which reduces the energy of a robot
• The damage is calculated by: DAMAGE(R2) = ( RANDOM(BETWEEN 1 AND 10) * A(R1) / DISTANCE ) – (D(R2) * (DISTANCE / 10))
• Damage cannot be a negative value. Assume 0 if a negative value occurs.
