Welcome To Darwinbots > Newbie

not need end instruction anymore?

Jez:
As the title said, am just trolling the forum downloading the SB and MB leagues and wanted to make sure.

EricL:
The DNA parse routines assume an implicit end statement at the end of a bot file, so it is not strictly necessary.  The end statement exists so that a mutation can result in a clipped genome.

Jez:
I got the first sentence but the second passed me by with barely a wave.

What do you mean by a 'clipped genome' please...

Also; can I have moderator privilege for the leagues/bestiary bit of forum please, many bots seem to be missing and if I can locate them I would like to add them to the dna lists.

EricL:
If I mutate an end statement into the middle of my genome, it essentially clips my genome at that point.

Jez:
Tyvm, I understand now.

Now; about that moderator privilege, I'm doing lots of work here to bring the league up to date, would really appreciate it. Have just finished renaming all the bots so that we can instantly see which of the old leagues they would have been in and who wrote them, just about to search my PC for the missing bots. seems a shame if I can't post the info in the proper place...

On the other hand; completely understand if the current mod's don't want another one, happy to just post the info and let someone else sort out the proper placing of info if you (mods) feel that is a better way of doing things.
