    \$\begingroup\$ @overactor there's a bug in the cooldown code. You're using simulateMove in the "Calculate the new positions" section, which decrements cooldown in addition to finding new positions. This means a plane can fire every turn if they ignore their own cooldown counter. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 30, 2014 at 5:19

    \$\begingroup\$ For those who may find it useful, this regex will search through the log to find where your plane shoots ^Move(.*?)shoot: true$ (replace "Move" with your name, and make sure that . does not capture new lines) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 30, 2014 at 14:34

    \$\begingroup\$ here's a commit for my plane wrapper, along with a dumb python plane. I'd love it if someone would write a smarter plane in perl/python/lua/bash/whatever and give me some feedback on if/how the wrapper works for you. github.com/sparr/Dogfight-KOTH/commit/… if people can/will use this, we can get it into @overactor's repo and allow arbitrary language submissions. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 30, 2014 at 18:56
