Hmm, maybe I should make vector do that.

Hey, that isn't a bad idea

If you make Vector do it though you will loose the end-all antivirus protection

Ill make it lose conspec recognition if the number of genes is wrong. Its family will cure it of the virus.

Man, veggie cancer viruses are awesome. They give my bot such a huge advantage. Carrying them will be worth the effort of designing a more complex viral defense  

Endy:
You can pretty easily defend yourself from your own viruses. If you set a condition in the virus gene like:

--- Code: ---cond
*50 1 !=
start
50 .repro store
314 rnd .aimdx store
stop
--- End code ---
you can keep them from activating in your own bot, by setting 50 to one at age zero

   In the virus tutorial we all kind of forgot that part, it has been corrected  

Theres also species specific stuff you can do with them but it's kind of tricky, I wrote about over in the wiki if your curious.

abyaly:
This is the gene I used:

--- Code: ---cond
*.myeye 55 !=
start
50 .repro store
500 .aimdx store
-2 .shoot store
*.thisgene .mkvirus store
200 .vshoot store
stop
--- End code ---
And entirely by coincidence, this virus is also deadly to bots ^^


The viral defense issue comes up because it can't be an SG bot if it uses this method. So I can't indiscriminantly .delgene gene 2 every cycle.

My current understanding is that viruses are inserted between the first and last gene. Is this accurate?
