Mutation Rates

Elite:
Aaaaaaaaaagh ... who's been tampering with the alga ...

Somehow, the bots have been:
1) Unfixing the alga
2) Giving the alga shooting genes
Vegetables aren't meant to fight back ...  :blink:

Somehow, a few vegs ended up with this in their gene code ...

--- Code: ---cond
  *.eye5  0 !=
start
 -1  .shoot store
stop
--- End code ---
And more alga in other parts of the field are doing it too  :blink:

There's something really weird going on ...

Elite:
At nearly 5 hours exactly all the bots died  :(  due to harrassment by the mysterious evil vegs  :blink:
Still, a rather interesting introduction to the weird world of evosims  :)

Here's a virus I hope will help gene transfer between species:-

--- Code: ---cond
*.nrg 1000 >
start
*.genes rnd .mkvirus *.vtimer -1 mult 1 add mult store
100 .vshoot *.vtimer 1 sub abs 1 sub -1 mult mult store
*.mkvirus 1 add  .delgene *.mkvirus *.thisgene sub dup mult sgn mult store
stop
--- End code ---

Which I will be running with a virus-immune veg:-

--- Code: ---cond
start
 50 .repro *.nrg 6000 sub sgn mult store
 15 .aimdx *.nrg 6000 sub sgn mult store
 .delgene inc
 .delgene inc
stop
end
--- End code ---

creature from the Black Lagoon ... or the Blob!!! ;)
Poison Ivy?

hey, evolution is evolution. congrats. ;)

Endy:
I've been having some oddball effects myself. The bots appear to be benneficialy losing their deletion gene, then gaining too many genes and dying out. Maybe setting the deletion gene level higher will help out some more. :unsure:

Are your veggies able to mutate? I've had alga occasionally use:

(0) 314 rnd store

and manage to become mobile. Any time the sim repops them, it'll restore them to their initial dna; so maybe you can use that to check wether its the plants dna or the bots doing it.

PurpleYouko:
My veggies are non-mutating and the shooting gene that a bunch of them started using (on two seperate occasions now) was lifted straight out of "Firstbot".
