Bro how long you make your code?
There seems to be a bug where the blue turtle doesnât get hit by the water gun.
As you can see, the bullet grazes both red and blue, but only red gets hit. @Venneth can you fix this. It is rather annoying as I believe it costs me a few losses. Thank you
Also, I believe the first place PGSystemTester is doing something to avoid the boundary rules. He does some wierd manuever and ends up below y=5 and above y=63. I have a spectate link. CodeCombat - Coding games to learn Python and JavaScript
I am not able to go that far down so I believe you normally arenât suppose to be able to. It allows him to surround all of my tiles. @Venneth can you please figure out what is causing this. Thank you

why is he moving so weird?
Usually people just move in a straight line but the pgsystem guy is shuffling along
As a Battle Bus Academy student recently achieved a #1 ranking in arena, the headmaster Jonesy would like to offer this statement
We love codecombat and have always enjoyed their competitions and are humbled to, at the time of this post, currently be ranked #1 in Solar Skirmish. However, we would also like to share some honest feedback. While the idea of outmaneuvering an opponent is fun (even if it is a turtle), the weapons are insignificant and the strategy seems more geared towards outmaneuvering the platform rather than the opponent. Sources close to the student who built this (his dad) say the last few hours of design were essentially putting in weird superfluous turns to avoid colliding into walls. The student worked hard on this, but you can see an example of it not being consistently successful in this game where this league-leading code came to an inglorious end during the match by smashing into the side like a Baltimore sea captain.
To be clear, this is not cheating as all executed code leveraged tools provided, and thus the student should be rightfully enjoying their moment of glory. However, such a strategy is not as much fun as previous arena games such as the gravity one where all kinds of wild/chaotic but consistent events could be enjoyed by all participants. So while the BBA is happy to be on top, we found such games more worthwhile, even if our efforts never broke into the top 25.
Regardless, thank you all for the opportunity to play and we hope this is helpful.

Is this a joke one or is this for real?

Are you making fun of our studentâs turtleâs leg injury?
Turtles are people too and you should not make fun of the way they walk or hobbleâŚ
Turtle leg injury where?
Bro is moving faster with an injury

More seriously (if possible after such statements), no idea why itâs moving that way. The code contains lots of checks for status, but nothing beyond moving. While odd looking, I believe no change in speed.
Hey @Venneth, for some reason when I use hero.turn(direction) it gives this error.
The ai says that there is not a hero.turn(direction). Can you fix it please, thank you.
Hey @Venneth the water gun bullet seems to spawn a little away from my turtle. It is causing close range shots to miss. Here is a spectate CodeCombat - Coding games to learn Python and JavaScript Thank You
Does anyone else have this problem.
Nevermind, I found the problem. I used âLeftâ instead of âleftâ. It was because I have a function where they are defined like that.
Welp, Seems like Venneth will have a lot of things to fix today.

Positioning should be fixed and should be consistent now ( a combination of rounding the position to valid positions and adjusting the starting position)
The water gun should also have sufficient hit radius now
Yeah there is an inconsistency between using move commands (left right up down) and turning and moving forward, Iâm working on rooting the cause and fixing it
Thanks for the feedbacks and bug reports everyone!

Thank you @Venneth! Water gun bullets still seem to spawn a little away from the turtle. This causes my short range shots that would otherwise hit to miss. Can this be changed? Thank you
bro the new range on the water bullets are so annoying
i keep losing against @Johnathonaldridge because he keeps sniping me with the stupid water gun
