You can just analyze the graphical output of the browser and hence make your hack useless. The underlying problem of this game is just too easy to solve.

(x+1) * max(0, sign(x)) * (1-max(0, sign(x-1/sqrt(2)))) + (1+1/sqrt(2)) * (1-max(0, sign(x-1/sqrt(2)-1))) * max(0, sign(x-1/sqrt(2))) + (-x+sqrt(2)+2) * max(0, sign(x-1/sqrt(2)-1)) * (1-max(0, sign(x-sqrt(2)-1)))

I assume it to be not doable but that in no way fixes the problem that its easy to write a tool that plays perfectly.

Yeah. I loved playing with the graph function. I felt so powerful to define curves and can see them being plotted.

Even heavily restricting the function to only use addition and multiplication doesn't solve the problem.

In the general case that is not possible. If there is a block vertically in between of two opponents you can not destroy both in one turn.

Its easy to write a tool that produces a function in every round using step functions that kills the maximal number of enemys. I love this kind of game so I think its very sad that I don't see a way to rescue it. Even if you would rest

I was surprised to see that many people didn't know how to define a step function. One way to do it is: size_of_jump*max(0, sign(x-position_of_jump)). Also, max(0, sign(x-position)) allows you to switch on and off other parts of your f
