Bots and Simulations > Evolution and Internet Sharing Sims

Started a new evo sim today

<< < (2/2)

Testlund:
I've started a new evosim tonight, this time with two species with only one zero in the genes, one species with autotroph. I have set point mutation to 100000 and insertion to 100. I was thinking that insertion means that a random value or command is added at a random location in the genes, wich whould build up a longer sequence after awhile. Is that what insertion does?

Testlund:
Looks like I have missunderstood what insertion means. I tried a sim with 20 bots with insertion set to 1. After 50000 cycles nothing had been inserted. I'll start a new sim with my previous zerobots mensioned in the beginning of this topic instead.

Numsgil:
No, you understand Insertion correctly.  Except that insertion can only occur during reproduction.  Most mutations are like that.  Delta and Point Mutations are the sole exceptions.
