Simplest Evo Starter Bot

<< < (8/30) > >>

Numsgil:
Yeah, the mutations for 2.4 could have probably been balanced a bit more.  The problem is that point mutations work on each BP each cycle, whereas delta mutations work on each bot each cycle.  They aren't quite equivelant.

Elite:
I'm getting some good results using this bot:

cond
start
-1 .shoot store
stop

cond
start
10 .up store
stop

cond
*.nrg 10000 >
start
33 .repro store
stop

end

And using the settings I posted in the 'frustrations of a returner' thread in the off topic forum

Numsgil:
You can shore up the DNA a bit (I'm not sure if you want to though) by rewritting it as

start
-1 .shoot store

start
10 .up store
stop

cond
*.nrg 10000 >
start
33 .repro store

If you're running in 2.4 (though your screenshot looks like you're running in 2.3X)

Testlund:
Aren't you cheating now? I thought this was about starting with as simple a bot as possible and let it evolve by itself?  

Numsgil:
Well there are limits to what you might consider the "simplest" bot to start with.

As far as I know no one has been able to evolve a bot from absolutely nothing.  It's theoretically possible, I've just never seen it done.

Whereas evolving an already barely survivng bot is much less difficult, because natural selection begins to come in play.
