Alphabet

NOTE: Most things have more in depth explantion in their files

Features

• Movement (Auto switches based on the current robot count)
  • Wave Surfing for 1v1
  • Minimum risk for melee
    
    
• Shooting (Auto switches with VirtualGun System)
  • Pattern Matching (By far the strongest)
  • Linear (Takes the current velocity + heading and does math to find the best shot)
  • Head On (Self explanatory)
  • Guess Factor (Not very good mostly just copied from a tutorial to test, it's never used)
    
    
• Data collection
  • Virtual guns (Shoots virtual bullets and stores if they hit or not)
  • Virtual Leaderboard (Keeps track of how long bots survive to estimate their leaderboard placement)
  • Enemy Snapshots (Every time the radar scans a enemy it's current info is added into a "snapshot" list)
    
    

Other Notable Features

• ComponentCore
  The robot is broken up into multiple files this helps TONS with debugging and makes it easier to read.
  To join all the files together I made ComponentCore, at the start I register each component list this.

  componentCore.registerComponent(new Radar());

  Then for every event I only call something like eventCore.onScannedRobot() and it goes through the components and calls them.
  This is great and all but I didn't always want to call all the components. For example I wouldn't want to call the
  onScannedRobot of all the guns at once. So to solve this I made something called a eventConditional which is checked before calling the component.
  Here is a example of the ON_SCANNED_ROBOT eventConditional for SurfMovement.

  componentCore.setEventConditional("SurfMovement", componentCore.ON_SCANNED_ROBOT, (Alphabet alphabet) -> {
      return alphabet.movementMode == alphabet.MOVEMENT_SURFING;
  });

• MathUtils (A collection of mostly common math functions)
• Statistics (At the end of battle it will print some helpful stats used for measuring performance)
• ShadowGun
  I really wanted this to work but it doesn't integrate well with the rest of the robot.
  Mainly because the robot wasn't designed to shoot at a selected target instead it
  Just shoots at the last scanned enemy. I might try to fix this in the future.
