Airplane 11/26

Group 1:
   
    Yang:
    Vishwa: Doing data analysis with excel. Trying to figure out with player better. The only board that has significant differences is in the stream   
    Hari:

Group 2:

    Harjot: Added flow detection, so we are doing much better at those boards. Create a white box to show the obstacles during the flight. Once a flow is detected, those planes do not use A*, they just follow the flow path. We set up flow, buy seeing how many planes are in the flows and how long it is.
    Tieram: <Excused>
    Sam: We detect where the planes will collide and will create an obstacle at the location. To detect flows by how many planes are in the same distance. We give prescience to the longest flow and create waypoints around it.

Group 3

    Marcus:
    Hao: We have made improvements for the delay and detour. If we cannot find an angle that avoids the crash in 10 rounds, then just delay.
    Franklin: We had the issue where our simulator was not working. We have fixed this. If there is a head on collision, then find an arch path to run. Our player runs a lot of simulators so it takes a while. We are looking into detecting flows, also looking at waypoints to get around the flows. We don’t detect head on collisions very well.

Group 4

    Tanay: Were doing very poorly on the flows and on tight pack. We do poorly on these because we don’t look forward enough, we only look 30 steps ahead. We are looking at arcs and going around flows using having waypoints
    Yigit:
    Tim: <Absent>

Group 5

    Tanveer: We have better collisions detection, but otherwise we have the same strategy. We have three movement patterns, a straight line, a curved takeoff and A*. We are not doing any calculation on whether it is better to take off and move around or to delay.
    Lauren: We were looking into moving planes into safe zones, but we found that there are a lot of calculations and real time analysis. We decided that it was not worth continuing since it would only be useful on certain boards.
    Jinesh:

Group 6

    Di: Trying to schedule the plane to go directly to the destination, then delay by one. Prioritizing the plane with the longest flight. We will try to detour the planes if we can. Find that most of the planes are delayed. The detour will make the plane take off at another angle and then turn back to its destination.
