Steamhammer 1.2.3 uploaded
Steamhammer 1.2.3 is uploaded, playing zerg as Steamhammer and random as Randomhammer. The previous version 1.2.2 was clearly stronger than earlier versions, though it was overtaken by newcomers during its long life. If this version lives up to its test results then it will be stronger yet. For example, in my tests 1.2.3 zerg crushes #3 Killerbot by Marian Devecka like an egg.
The first version of Randomhammer came out 100 elo weaker than its parent UAlbertaBot, due to playing more varied and less aggressive openings. The test version running lately was maybe 50 elo stronger than UAlbertaBot on average (though it’s hard to estimate, because UAlbertaBot’s rating is unstable). And its openings have become a little more varied yet. New version 1.2.3 should be even stronger. So I think Steamhammer should be a reasonable starter bot no matter what race you have in mind.
Next up: The rest of the release tasks. Then I’ll bring up a public repository. After that I’ll finally be free to look into the new SparCraft.
