DNA suggestions

[Elite]

Could we add some sort of conserved regions of DNA, which mutate slower than the rest of DNA? Could take the form of some sort of flow command. Or have commands that attach to each gene that specify the relative mutation rate of that gene. These could mutate.

Code: [Select]

mut 78
cond
start
stop
Something like that?

Also, maybe the mutation to shift genes around and change their order (minor suggestion)

That's similar to one of the ideas I had but never implemented when I first started modifying Darwinbots a year ago.

It's possible, but it's a bit less black and white than would first appear.  During mutations, the DNA can get rearranged, making tying mutation rates to DNA locations less easy than you would think.
