Zerobot evolution prize for conditional logic

--- Quote from: Prsn828 ---The sim started out with 5 50 zero bots and 5 100 zero bots, but eventually the 100 zero bots wiped out the 50 zero bots. I wonder if this is how it usually happens...

It's about combinations and permutations. The 100 BP variant had more possibilities of mutating BP into something useful. So yes I do think this will happen usually
Numsgil:
I'd like to see a zerobot sim sometime with bots with thousands of bps of 0s. Would be interesting to see if more interesting things develop that way.

Under default conditions the only thing happening is deletions decreasing genome length. The bot sin my sims started out with 1000 BP and shrunk without uniquely exiting things happening.
Numsgil:
They'd at least have to start reproducing before genome length decreased. Unless maybe the bots found .delgene or something.

Yep. A large genome does not automagically translate into complex behaviour. A complex environment is needed for that. Eating minimalis does not qualify.
