Its might really be good to have sexrepro

(1/3) > >>

Welwordion:
When we run ex nihlo sims or just junk sims it might be really useful to have sexrepro so that once a bot develops repro he can use useful genes of the other bots that developed with him (that way the other genome is not wasted). Just wanted to say that.

Numsgil:
You're not the first to say we need sexrepro.  It's on the list for 3.0.  It'll probably get implemented sometime in the next two years

PurpleYouko:
It's always been such a pain inthe ass to get it to work in some kind of realistic way.

Carlo tried it, I tried it, then we discussed it at length and kind of gave up for the time being.  

Numsgil:
The main issue still seems to be the issue of how to handle diploidness.

If a satisfactory solution for all can't be found, I'll either:

1.  Just implement my idea (I don't like the idea of unilaterally making decisions though).

2.  Implement Haploid sexual reproduction, as other Alife simulators have done.  For instance, Creatures.

Welwordion:
I would be totally satisfied with something that mixes the genome .(two bots that have the same ancestor, then adjusting the mix according to all mutations that changed length?Basically you find out which part of the genome had which place in the original genome and add the empty spaces and inserted stuff inbetween as a decision between to write something or not)
