Hibernation

Numsgil:
A little behind the times aren't we?  

I changed it so that store commands cost energy the moment thye're used.  I believe that was 2.37.  It's what allowed Spanish Conquistador and other short bots to explode in complexity and efficiency.

Endy:
Yep, great little guys. Normally I'll do the initial code regular, then SG'ize it afterwards. Useful also for general cost saving in Multi-gene bots, since every bit of nrg helps.  

Here's a tutorial on the whole concept.

Conditionless bots


You could just make a normal condition send them into hibernation. It would effectivly act as a overall state regulator, costs some nrg, but would make the coding easier. Only downside is that the antiviral stuff wouldn't work.  

Maybe it would be useful for bots near death. They could hibernate until a conspec gives them enough nrg to get going again.

Elite:
Damn. I ran a test, and in 2.37.6 hibernation does work, but in 2.4X it doesn't
No wonder Una was dying in 2.4 - there's a lot of stores in there

Grrrrrr ... change it back    

Here's SWARM SGified:

end
--- End code ---

Notice the antivirus code on the end

SG bots with double .delgene inc are totally immune to viruses - the virus is deleted before it can execute

There's a topic here about conditionless coding. There's also my Animal Minimalis SGified in there

Welwordion:
Hm, I just realized you could build a bot without store commands, instead it would rely on inc dec and information/venom shots it fires at itself(he could be a MB to do that).
However it would be quite complicated and energy expensive.

Numsgil:
In 2.4 at least inc and dec are no longer free.  They cost 1 / 10th of a store I believe.

If Eric doesn't, I'll try and figure out what makes hibernation no longer work after church.
