How Long To Wait For Children to...
Numsgil:
I also vote in favor of memory being copied during cycles 1 through 20 instead of after.
In fact, I see no reason why in later versions (C++) we couldn't expand this to be a memory location each cycle. Say 901 through 1000. You'd have to move some sysvars around but that's not a huge deal at all.
EricL:
I have no problem figuring out what code does or making it do what I want it to do. What I have problems with is figuring out what others actually want it to do.
So, should it be cycles 1-20 in the offsprings life or should I emulate 2.36.7 and make it cycles 33 through 52? Or perhaps make it happen instantly as Nums seems to suggest earlier in this thread. Any of these is trivial to implement. Just tell me which people prefer.
I think it is inadvisable to make it user configurable. People seem to have problems enough with user definable settings complaining for example, about how waste causes them problems in 2.4X where simply setting the waste threshold to 32000 would disable the feature.
Numsgil:
I think cycles 1-20 is best, otherwise no one's ever going to use it (liek before).
EricL:
Then that is how I will do it though I'm sure someone someday will complain that their 2.3X genetic memory bot doesn't work quite as they expect in 2.4x...
Numsgil:
I don't think you have to worry too much about that since Endy is about the only person who tried using it successfully.
