Welcome To Darwinbots > Newbie

Hi,
my name is Sebastian, I'm 21 years old and from Germany.
I was reading about artificial intellegence/life and searched for some evolution-simulation, when I found Darwinbot. I was pretty impressed by the program and its possibilities (from "simple" evo-sims to competitions in leagues) and I sit in front of my screen for hours, trying to figure out working conditions and costs.
After I found some "Div by Zero - Errors" I decided to take a look at the Forum, found a new version and... cried a few tears, cause my 15hrs-sim didn't work fine with the new version   .
But I like it even more now *g*
I'll try to do my part in finding bugs and so on.

So far,
Sebastian

Welcome to the DB, Sebastian!

Hi there, welcome to DB!

I'd be curious to know what version you were using before.   Thanks!

Mh, it was an 2.42.9 without an extention, think I downloaded it from the download-link at the Wiki about a week ago. Still have the DarwinBot.exe File, but none of the Sims wich didn't work fine.
One of the "Div by Zeros" was the one with the logarythmic agecost increasement allready fixed, another one only occured if the movement vectors where disabled, but it seemed to happen randomly, sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes after an hour. And I was able to continue the sim by loading the error-file (still have one of the error-files).
Now I'm using 2.49.9s, where this "random" Div by Zero not happend yet.

EricL:
Okay, great.  The crashes in 2.42.9 don't surprise me - I've fixed quite a few since then - but the sim file formats should be forward and backwards compatable.  I'm surprised you had problems loading a sim produced by 2.42.9 into 2.42.9s (was it a problem in loading or something that happened later?).  That should not happen.  If you find the old sim or can re-create the issue, I'd be very interested in taking a look at a sim produced by 2.42.9 that has problems in 2.42.9s+.

Thanks.
