issues (From Youtube comment)

This is a comment that was posted on one of my videos

I notice several issues with this.

1. if you spawn far from any dots you are frozen in place as the bot doesn't know where to go.
2. there are many occasions where there are too many threats and the bot becomes "confused" and switches targets rapidly, essentially twitching in place until you are eaten.
3. it cannot split on its own, nor is it very good at lining up a split to overtake another cell.
4. it does not handle split cells well at all, it controls the "main" cell ignoring the small ones. 9/10 they get eaten before being able to reform.
5. on more then one occasion it ran me into a virus while trying to avoid another threat causing a mass split an most of my cell being eaten. Please do not take this as hate in any way, this bot is quite amazing. I post this simply as feedback for things to look into for possible updates. The bot works very well up until a score of 200-300, then it begins making strange choices and gets killed. Still very impressive work. Anyone considering a download, I say its worth it.

@DarkN3ss61 I am working on a bot that solves most of that if you want to pitch in there are still a few major problems should I make a repo for it or keep it in gist untill everything is stable?

@henopied , you can make a repo and I can take a look

Be warned it is currently crashing a lot because of my clear bad food so I may fix that on first commit. Edit: I have no idea where the crash bug is coming from actually.

@DarkN3ss61 I was working on it a bit fixing some things but I noticed a weird error it says it can't read property 0 which is not being used. and not on the line it mentioned either Edit: Also the way I compared size I think is a bit off

I'll pull some time to work on those issues.
