Highlights
Micro Framework: Soup Catcher describes how Xena’s micro framework splits units into micro groups and sequences behaviors to issue effective commands. Each behavior assesses the situation and can override previous commands, optimizing unit responses in real-time.
Debugging Tools: The discussion highlights advanced tools developed for debugging and testing, such as a micro battle framework and a JavaScript-based replay viewer. These tools allow developers to visualize and analyze unit behavior, making it easier to identify and correct issues.
Practical Applications: By showing how Xena uses these tools to form unit concaves and respond to threats, Soup Catcher illustrates the real-world benefits of these innovations. The tools have caught crucial errors before ladder deployment, proving their effectiveness in maintaining bot performance.
