Ships block shipyard at end-game scuttle #29

Closed dgets closed 5 years ago

dgets commented 5 years ago

Being as the calculation of the turn to begin the end-game scuttle is hardly precise, ships need to, after making their 'final' dropoff, go back to the standard mining & dropoff routine, just in case they get enough halite to be able to add to the score a little bit more at the end.

For ease of implementation, it may be better, at first, to just send these ships to the 4 corners of the halite universe to gtfo of the way.

Okay so I thought this was fixed in commit d6f2af1, but it appears that I was mistaken. There are still mishaps that are keeping our total lower than it should be by blocking other ships. I'm going to try just having every ship head for the enemy's shipyard instead of relying on random profitable movements, I think.
