Welcome To Darwinbots > Newbie

Very nice!

Jez:
Hiya PY!!  

Great to be back!

Oops! Starting gate it is then!  

The biggest reason I had for starting this post and worrying about the install was that Excalibur kept wiping the floor with Hunter. I'm using DB V2.37.6 with F1 contest conditions ticked and (copied not downloaded) the code from the bestiary for the bots.
I imagine this means the default settings should be OK so I suppose I might have the wrong code for one of the bots if it isn't upto date in the bestiary.

Did I say wiping? I should have said 'smearing Hunter slowly across the floor,' the sim I just ran ended 37-0 to Excalibur. Something is different somewhere...

{edit} checked variables for sim with F1 conditions ticked.
Friction was at 1 not 3
Veg nrg per cycle was set to 40 not 30

Don’t know proper value for:
The costs.
+
Swimming factor is set at 1.1
Movement factor at 0.8

Hasn’t made a difference though 

PurpleYouko:
That seem rather strange to say the least.

I ran the sim at default (I thought all defaults were the same but maybe not) values this morning to confirm the results.
Hunter won the contest by 30 to 20. That seems to be about the average win-loss ratio I always get with these two
The physics settings are set automatically when you check the F1 box.
The costs are as follows

Execute condition 0.02
store 0.2
Chemical emision 2
Acceleration 0.5

Smallest size. 40 energy to the veggie

That's about it.

If you still get different results with these settings then something a bit weird is going on.

Light:
Sounds to me that PY is using Excalibur and Jez is using Excalibur 1.1 would explain different results, either that or PY's machine is rigged to give his bots an advantage  

Jez:
Bingo!

Give the man a biscuit!!

Congrats to Light for his logical inference and a superb little bot!!!  

I shall consider Excalibur 1.1 the top F2 bot now and get back to the drawing board.

I must be losing it. I don't appear to even have Excalibur 1.1 on my computer.

I did think about adding a bit of code that would give all my bots free food  
I figure somebody would have found it by now though.
