Methods of Committing Suicide

(1/1)

frankle:
Hey, I didn't see this anywhere else on the forums, so I thought I'd ask here:
What ways do you use, or can think of, to make a bot kill itself?

Here's the gene I'm using.


--- Code: ---cond
' whatever, usually detecting if dna length has changed to prevent add/del mutations
start
1 .delgene store
stop
--- End code ---

This gene recursively deletes the bot's DNA, effectively making it a corpse.

Henk:
The easiest way is to expell all the energy in the bot with energy shots:


--- Code: ---' let the bot die at age 5000
cond
*.robage 5000 >
start
-2 .shoot store
*.nrg .shootval store
stop
--- End code ---

Biological equivalent of these things.

Light:
I used something similar when I was working on a sequel to Helios, I made it that if a single bot didn't have enough energy to reproduce into a MB, it would launch itself at the nearest MB and release all its energy, a kind of altruistic suicide.

Endy:
I'm so not going to say the fastest way to kill another bot.
