Sim hanging

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jez:
Yeah, does the same for me, I had to change the alga when it asked to alga minimalis but that sim sure kills the program.

frankle:
I'm thinking the hang may be due to the massive number of ties devious eradicatorus makes. That's just a guess though, as I don't have VB and can't debug.

Jez:
I have run Devious previously under league settings for matches and it has never caused this problem before.

btw I'm sure someone will give you a (legal) link to download VB if you are interested in helping debug DB, pretty sure I have seen it given before.

frankle:
Yeah, I'd certainly be willing to help debug.

EricL:
This hang is a semi-tight loop in the point mutation routine.  A point mutation is being attempted on a bot of age 0 with a DNA length of 1.  The code will tight loop in such a cases.  

The single base pair bot is a result of the virus gene in Devious eraticatorus.  A bot with only a single gene  left (the virus gene) reproduced and then deleted the gene, leaving the child with none and triggering the bug and the hang.  

Fixed in 2.42.9p.
