Can DB do this?

Henk:

--- Quote from: survivalmachine ---This would require a set of 3 variations of a 'species' (and possibly one control). One set would operate like this: (tit-for-tat) I feed someone when they need it, if they don't feed me when I need it they get blacklisted. Another: (Cooperative) I feed whoever needs it, regardless if they havn't helped me. Another: (Parasitic) I take help whenever I need it but never give help. I have the feeling I'm forgetting something...

It would be possible to program bots that do this, but the chance of having bots that weren't designed to have this kind of behavior evolving it is rather small and/or would take a lot of time.

Are you looking for bots that were designed with this behavior, or for bots that have evolved this behavior?

I'm looking for bots with this designed in them. Run a few simulations and see what the ESS is. Reading through some of the documentation I noticed you could set special values. Maybe a '1' in one value = don't shoot me I'm part of your species kind of deal.

Ramiro:
For simulating "chloroplast" you can use a vegie. The "cell" could be any Dbots that form a tie with it and obtains energy throgh it, but to be a real simbiotic relationship the vegie should obtain some advantage too. I think, and thats only  an idea, that perhaps in pond mode a vegie tied to a bots that swims upward (into the light) would produce more energy and the process wuold be mutually beneficial

Jez:
Getting a proper 'tit for tat' bot would be hard, bots don't recognise individuals as individuals. If you made it a bot that ID'd the other bots by species and took the first member of the other species it met as representative of that species it could work.

The random nature of the enviroment would also cause a problem, bots bumping in to each other or shots missing will all make it harder to communicate and store relevant information reliably.

Darwinbots can be very selfish, it would be interesting to see if 'tit for tat' and 'co-op' had any chance of beating 'parasite'

Writing the bots wouldn't take long, if you need ready designed bots to try this out with please say.
