Hall of Fame

(1/4) > >>

Jez:
The other league idea I had, more a concise history of DB bot development, is the Hall of Fame;

So far, only in rough, I can probably sort dates but need bot names and authors, I have thought of;

??? first day/night bot (PY?)
??? first pond bot (PY?)
??? first symbiotic bot (??)
??? first viral bot (???)
??? first bot to delete birth tie (PY)
??? first bot to turn away from babies at birth (Jez?)
??? first bot to divide at moment sim was started (Jez)
??? first braking to avoid moving veg bot (PY??)
??? First ant bot (??)
??? first tie defence (PY)
Jez’s one-gened-bot – First single gene bot (Jez)
????? – First working tie feeder (PY)
Circumversor Algificus – First Spinner bot/First bot by (Jez)
Vermis worm? first MB (Probably Carlo)
I. Flamma – One of the original bots (Jeremiah)
I. Venia – One of the original bots (Jeremiah)
T. Preservans – One of the original bots (John Turner)
C. Discernens – One of the original bots (Carlo)

You'll probably notice it's a bit bias towards me and PY atm but I thought it would be nice to have some sort of overview for the development of bots, the noticable stages. I also thought it would be nice to add first bots from all the different bot designers. (My first was Circumversor Algificus AFAIK) Dates will be added and it will be done as a timeline. Need more names and some more first stuff though.

Very rough atm but it's just a thought.

PurpleYouko:
The first tie feeder was my "H Devincio Venator"
The first bot to delete its birth ties was my "Hunter 2.13"
The first braking to align with moving veg bots was my "Destinatus Preliator"
The first bot to truly track the movements of another bot was Numsgil's "Ymir"
The first ant bot was (I think) my "Ant Bot"
The first bot with an active tie defence leach system was my "Devincio Dominator"
The first non-tie feeder with an anti-tie defence was my "Hunter 2.2" (I think)
Not sure about the first pond bot or day/night bot though I think possibly both of these may be my "Algae Stratificus" which is designed to float up and down the water column to different depths when day changes to night.

You are right, you and I did rather dominate the field way back when all these firsts came out.  
I'm sure there are some other catagories where others took the lead though, particularly if we do some stuff with evolved bots.

Jez:
He he, thanks for the info.

I was thinking, rather than a hall of fame just adding the info to the subtitles in the bestiary. Probably a simpler way to do it.

PurpleYouko:
yeah that could work.
Do it whatever way you think will be best.  

Jez:
Btw PY

As default league master could you perhaps take a quick glance at this thread; League settings
Apart from the one change of allowing max speed and hopefully more variety of bot behaviours I was hoping to get it pretty much as it was originally, anything you can add or correct would be great.
All the league settings should be defaulted with the next buddy drop to make it easy to have the same settings as everyone else when designing league bots.
