I appreciate your reply Zeta. It is likely I am going to have to table the secure side of this then, until I aquire additional mental tools. I had guessed this would be more common, especially among large corporations that like snooping on employee web habits.

I have bitten off more than I can chew, as is my style. It's how I learn quickest. Both the proxy client and server are machines I have full access to. I plan on using the server for content adaptation after I get the proxy thing down. This guy at overclockers forum wants to do something similar, an...

I appreciate the input Rotekian, I look forward to giving it a try! Thanks so much.

My thought is have one class for "master" behavior, one for "servant", and this as the default. I can pick out what code belongs to which, but I can't figure out how to make each bot into one or the other. import java.util.Random; public class MasterAndServant { // behavior modif...

I mentioned in earlier posts that I am teaching myself how to program so I can play this game. I taught myself basic on a TI82 more than 10 years ago, well enough to make a little game for myself, so I know how to use booleans, logic and math. I don't feel like I am a lost cause. I do feel like I hi...

Frequency jamming operates conceptually the same way and with the same effect as Denial of Service via packet flooding. It is of course illegal in the US with a fine of up to 11,000$. You may want to do a bit of research on cell phone jammers, they are commercially availible from other countries. Wi...

I am glad this was changed, hover craft were indeed too powerful. Now to update my bot.

I don't doubt your numbers, although I haven't checked them (I don't know how :( ). I see no reason to allow or account for the randomness when it can be virtually eliminated. Yes, it can be eliminated, or at least vastly reduced, with a few instructions and a couple extra variables. I am sure you n...

There are enough bots that it takes a little mental computing to determine which bots put up a better fight against mine. Having the dominant bot in a matchup highlighted is a great help, but that same idea could be expanded by a column that computed Wins/TotalGames for each bot matchup. Typically I...

I am sure it's my fault, but I feel like there is a misunderstanding. When you say the radio will not be updated, it implies to me that the last update will continue to transmit. That is not the behavior my example demonstrates. My example code always returns the bot after changing the radio, so if ...

I've had a heck of a time making the radio work the way I expect. What I understood from this thread and the SDK was that the radio variable would be read regardless of what was returned via think. The behavior I seem to be able to count on is different. Returning the instance of the bot (via this) ...

If you are viewing it, you have downloaded it?

Have you tried grabbing it out of your temporary internet folder?

That's good to know. I'll go ahead and start using it myself now to get in the habit of it. I have zero previous experience programming so anything done by convention not mentioned in Sun's java tutorial is going to escape me. Thanks for taking the time out to consider and respond to my newbish ques...

I am interested. I could use lessons, and I am a newbie. I knew what the hosts file is/does. I did know what echo did. I did not know that >> printed to a file. I did know that I needed to run from a command prompt if I wanted to see the results. When echo didnt print to the screen for the hosts fil...

I'm trying to understand what the static modifier does for the example bot Herd provided in the SDK. From what I do understand, each instance has it's own memory space, thus nullifying the use of static members between seperate instances. This makes it seem to me that the declared static has no effe...
