There's also surely some advantage to be gained by adjusting weighting according to the moon field size, as well as taking gravity into account. More accurate navigation would quite likely trip up any of the existing contenders.

Thanks @malgorithms

@aniero yeah, that's why I'm trying to understand simpleTarget =D

my first goal is to change the targeting from the current "skate toward the puck" to "skate to where the puck is going". And use that when attacking.
