First unusual thing: INMORTAL BOT???

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ramiro:

--- Quote from: Jez ---AFAIK the program uses pwaste to eventually kill off 'immortal bots'. The normal waste a bot produces will damage a bot if it gets to large but the waste can be ejected, pwaste (permanent waste) is also produced and can't be removed. When the waste or pwaste gets to large the bot runs a risk of destroying part of its code. This causes bots that get to old to malfunction and eventually die!

Fantastic!!! Just like real methabolism (wich  produces end products wich are toxic to the organism that produces them).

The buildup of pwaste is also proportional to the speed at which a bot spends its energy.
A lethargic, take-it-easy bot is going to live a whole bunch longer than a hyper-speed bot that runs around fighting, eating and reproducing.

Don't want to be a party-pooper, but actually this is NOT how real metabolism works...

Numsgil:
(shh.  Don't spoil our fun )

Jez:
I always compared that to calorie restriction being linked to longer life span.

What angle are you looking at it from Shvarz?

(Question asked from ignorance btw)
