- * Like a sniper's "called shot" but magical. The defining feature is the intercept
- * calculation: this bot doesn't fire tracking missiles, it calculates the exact
- * angle needed to hit a moving target. "Shot" implies precision, singular impact,
- * and skill-based aiming — everything this bot is about.

- * → seeker (actively hunts). Each tier adds more intelligence to the projectile,
- * evolving from "I calculate where you'll be" to "my missile calculates where you'll be."
+ * Can chain .move() for simultaneous movement while casting.
  *
- * NOTE: A separate future archetype "Spellslinger" (volume-of-fire) is reserved
- * for a rapid-fire bot that prioritizes quantity over prediction.
+ * @param config - Missile stats:
+ *   - damage:   HP removed on hit (1-60 typical). Also sets hitbox: radius = 2 + 0.1×damage.
+ *   - speed:    units/tick (min 1.5). Player moves at 1 u/t, so 5 = 5× player speed.
+ *   - duration: ticks the missile lives (min 10). Range ≈ speed × duration.
+ *   - turnRate: degrees/tick of homing (0 = straight line, 3 = moderate homing, 5+ = strong).
+ *              Negative = no homing + minor speed cost reduction.
+ * @param ai - Called every tick to control missile steering. Use getMissileContext()
+ *   to read the missile's state (position, rotation, speed, etc.), the full game

+ * @param direction - Launch angle in degrees (0°=right, 90°=down, 180°=left, 270°=up).

 /**
- * Bot: Spellspinner
- *
- * BEHAVIOR: Maintains medium range (350 units), strafes constantly to dodge

- * emphasis on movement — 80% strafe intensity when not dodging, 100% when dodging.
- * Shields only undodgeable threats, emergency blinks when shield isn't available.
- * The constant circular strafing motion traces patterns like thread being spun.
+ * Bot: Rookie
  *
- * NAMING RATIONALE: Like a spider spinning a web of projectiles while circling its
- * prey. The constant strafing movement pattern traces circles — spinning thread
- * around the arena. "Spell" + "spinner" = a wizard who spins spells around the
- * battlefield. The kiting behavior (maintaining distance while attacking) creates
- * a web-like pattern of missiles and movement that traps opponents.
+ * BEHAVIOR: Stands perfectly still and fires straight (non-homing) missiles at

- * rather than chaotically spun.
+ * BEHAVIOR: Picks random valid actions each tick — random movement, random spells,

+ * BEHAVIOR: The elite critter. Chaotic and unpredictable but genuinely dangerous.
