Quick births

(1/1)

PurpleYouko:
When a new robot is born, it has a big thick tie attched to it's mother. This tie goes away after a while but in a contest for dominence every second counts.

This is how you get rid of that pesky tie.
You can't directly delete the birth tie so use these two genes.

cond
*.robage 0 =
  ' when the robot is first born
start
.tie inc
  ' puts a 1 in .tie so it fires a tie at its mother
  ' since only one tie can exist between any 2 bots
  ' this replaces the birth tie.
stop

' follow this gene by another that deletes the tie.

cond
*.robage 1 =
  ' robot is aged one cycle
start
.deltie inc
  ' puts a 1 in .deltie
  ' bye bye tie!
stop


All the top bots use a version of this these days.

This is actually kind of nice since it helps identify feeding methods. Agla, shot feeder, or tie feeder. If it isn't used than the bot is normally crippled against other hunters.
