SDK v276: problems for some bots

Post by adum »

today i released sdk version 276. the big change is in how order delay is handled. before, the delay was 1.0 time units and during this time the unit would glide in whatever direction it happened to be moving in already. now, the delay is 2.5 time units and the unit will stop while it's waiting for this order to execute. there are a few reasons for this. the main one is that people were finding it advantageous to give orders every single think method. this would make the replay files huge, and hence the replays would be tragically cut short. also, this should make things slightly more strategic, altho tactics will remain hugely important.

another new change: java.util.Vector is now supported. make collections of objects.

sorry to break people's bots!
