It bombs as fast as emerald and does 2 f-scans... The only problem is that you can't know which of the two fields is non-zero 8( So, i've tried making it use a fixed interval, but i don't think it helps, i've also tried using a fixed interval(10/15) and a small step(25)...IT's not bad against papers, but it looses much more to other scanners and and to stones. I've also tried using other attacks: one is a clear a bit like one Pihlaja(?) entered in a tournament, and i've tried attacking with an active carpet...Obviously, as it,s still a one-shot, the carpetting version scored very poorly on the wilmoos. Maybe an attack ala blur could be good :-/ Anyone has an idea for improving it???
