Message-ID: Summary: Dumbot 0.4 a bolo brain Keywords: bolo brains dumbot bots Organization: Time Warner Interactive Group Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1993 16:46:45 GMT Lines: 284 Dumbot04.sit.hqx enclosed. This is the the latest revision of Dumbot. Excerpts from the release notes: Dumbot 0.4 will beat Indy 1.2 more often than not. This version also beats Indy somewhat faster, due to some improvements in strategy. Dumbot and Indy are close in capabilities, but Dumbot 1.4 has better navigation, strategy, tactics, and (last but not least) a few less bugs. No doubt this balance of power will change with the next release of Indy. On the down side Dumbot hogs the CPU and uses more dynamic RAM than the other brains I've tested. This situation has improved somewhat, but not a great deal.
