--- Quote ---Haven't even looked at it yet, but are you fixing the roots in place using fixpos?  Otherwise your plants would theoretically begin drifting around rather aimlessly.
--- End quote ---
only the 'stem' would have to be fixed, yes ...
as long as the ties are not broken?
I think BOQ also wants the 'seed' to eventually attach to a passing
bot and be carried off to become replanted as a 'stem' in some other
location.
would be nice to allow the other parts of the 'plant' to wave in the current ...
and rename 'em kelp. ;)

for now, one could always position them at the bottom ...
and limit the repopulation to the bottom of the pond as well.

lots of ways to go methinks.

Boris of Quirm:
Thanks for that Numsgil, I'll try that now.

I can then grow my plants from the bottom and hopefully fix them to it.

you know you hit the bottom if you register *.edge.  It turns from 0 to 1 if either you hit the edge or see the edge, I forget which exactly.
--- End quote ---
let 'em root and grow from the edges too.?
other than the top edge that is.

Endy:
Welcome, you might want to temporarily unfix the plant while it is spreading out at birth. At robage 0 it could unfix(.fixpos dec) and spread out with the use of tielen1. At about 20 or so it could fix itself again.

I 'm going to go ahead and investigate the tieports a bit more myself. I normally only use them over a relativly short period to snap ties, so haven't seen how they respond over longer periods.

--- Quote --- I've asked a couple of time ...
could you please tell me the name of the variable that determines
in what color the bot is displayed/drawn?
--- End quote ---
"color", or maybe it's robcol or robcolor, but I don't think so.  Have you even looked at the robot structure, it seemed fairly self explanatory when I first looked at the code.


--- Quote ---and also ... the variable name of the color the graphs use?
it would be nice to have them match .... or at least have the graph
use the color designated when we set up the species ...
rather than the defalult color depending upon the order of species ...
ie, yellow, red, blue, violet, white ... or however it goes

As I've said many times, I have no idea, I didn't program that code.  Haven't even looked at it.  You know as much about it as I do, perhaps more.
--- End quote ---
hmmmm ...
just thought you might be able to help save me some
time and point me to it seeing you are the one who
has coded most of this.
never mind ...
sorry for bothering you.
