Programming 3.0 update
« on: March 04, 2005, 09:09:33 PM »
Thought everyone deserved to know how far I am in 3.0

Right now I'm speeding the program up.  So far I've managed to increase the speed of a 1000 robot simulation on my computer by 3x.  And that's with a bubble sort thrown in there(the least efficient sorting algorithm).

DNA limits on viruses and DNA have been removed.

Shots balancing is more or less finished.

New *.thisgene command for making viruses.

Env grid PY was working on was thrashed out to bare minimum.

You can now load a background pic instead of that constant blue.

Reorganized options screen.

Corpse mode, pondmode, day/night mode are all seperate from one another now.

Anywhere shot added, so you can do *.shang .aimshoot store to fire back at bots that hit you.

Limits on shell and slime removed to help match the ability to power up a shot.

I think that's it.

The big stuff: stomachs, energy types, and specialization are still being worked on.  I got side tracked with making the progam run faster.  When I am satisfied I have a system working right that's faster than before I'll start on the big stuff.

1 word, sweet
When I have the eclipse cannon under my control there is nothing that can stop me from ruling the world. And I wont stop there. I will never stop conquering worlds through the universe. All the worlds in the universe will belong to me. All the species in on them will be my slaves. THE ENIRE UNIVERSE WILL BELONG TO ME AND EVERYTHING IN IT :evil: AND THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE OF you CAN DO TO STOP ME. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, I forgot to mention automated leagues.  They load up a league and run it for you hands free, then save it to file.

Num

Did you do any more work on the backgrounds or are they still the way I left them?

Haven't touched any of the graphics stuff, so it's still how you left it.  All my work's been in rob module and physics module and senses module.
