The league's are only as current as their last update, I can't run the whole lot all at once due to stack overflow problem but will get it done and updated fairly soon... (am redoing from scratch but if it keeps causing a problem I might just add latest entries to get them updated for now)
that's cool, man ...
no rush ...
I've got lots of other stuff to do before I have
time to sit down and get serious about leagues.
Perhaps a max round thing whereby if there isn't a statistical winner by point x the challenger is given second place to the defender, would let me avoid, hopefully, stack overflow problem but don't know if that is easy fix.
yeah ... that's what I was thinking as well ...
the champ retains his title unless clearly defeated.
but it should be a user option and user set ...
so we don't step on the toes of the purists who want to calculate
their stats to the nth degree.
even more useful ...
a user defined max #of cycles per round for the same reason ...
some of these contests go on forever ...
ending only when one bot starves to death more slowly than the other.
so ... at the set $ of cycles ... the bot with the highest pop gets the round.
also ...
in a custom league not using wrap-around ...
or pond mode ...
I've had a bot end up 'outside' the borders ...
where it seems to not be affected by anything ...
and therefore never dies.
that was the biggest problem I came up against before in
non-league sims ... where I couldn't get a restart as
the 'last bot' was 'outside the jurisdiction'.
it's been a long time since I've run DB ...
so perhaps bots can no longer move beyond the borders ...
seems like eric did some changes that included that.
anyway ...
I'm for giving the end user as many options as possible ...
if you haven't fingered that out by now.
I'm not sure how many people actually use DB ...
seems almost more of a programmer's thing ...
appealing to those who have the skill to go in and
make it do what they want.
I can understand that draw ...
just don't have the expertise to do much yet.
that is one reason I keep coming back around
to see how things are progressing ...
inspires me to keep plugging away.
