Bots and Simulations > DNA - General
Are viruses overpowered?
Jez:
Wow, I didn't realise that slime was that expensive. Maybe why the bot I added an 'always make loads of slime' to never got past 5000 slime.
That is a convoluted way to work out virus v slime effectiveness, perhaps also why sometimes viruses work really well for one bot and not another (the gene number value bit )

Thanks for the info. Din looks like it may end up the top non virus/1G bot then. We'll find out one day
Being able to freely infect plants is indeed another advantage for viruses.
Light:
you could try adding hunter 2.3, excalibur 1.11 and ymir into the F1 league run, I would think they would all do quite well
Jez:
I'm doing a league rerun under VB atm to try find that overflow bug otherwise I'd try them out. I wouldn't have any problem putting old bots back into the league though.

So, after 6 days, I gave up trying to find the memory leak under VB. I ran for 6 days straight without a crash. I bet the memory allocation strategy used by the intereptor is different from the executable or the problem is something other than a memory leak - something that does not manifest when running in the debugger. I'll have to find it some other way. So, you might want to bail on running in VB...

You are the expert, it's taken 3 days to show up before when not running the debugger though. I can't seem to do a full rerun of the league with out hitting that bug either. I'll leave it a couple more days just in case. If it doesn't show up using VB it might be the quickest way for me to get the league redone atm!
