General approach to metabolism
Botsareus:
Py, you are saying we change the system on the bots without effecting the DNA? There is practicaly no way to do that.
PurpleYouko:
There are loads of ways to do it
here is one way to do it.
Infinite (almost anyway) kinds of enzymes defined in hexidecimal bit patterns and stored in a pattern at the end of the DNA. User programmable and mutates.
At the start of the sim or when a robot is born, the list of enzymes contained in the pattern is scanned into the robots enzyme array and all present enzymes are turned on for that robot.
The robot shoots normally.
It diverges into two different possible systems at this point.
Method 1
* Enzymes in stomach
* Undigested food comes back in the returned -2 shot.
* If the necessary enzymes are present the food is digested automatically else they are added to the waste of the robot and need to be pooped.Method 2
* Enzymes in shots.
* All enzymes possible for this robot are present in the shot that it fires.
* Target bot is partially digested by the shot provided that the correct enzymes are present in it, and according to their efficiency rate.
* Returned -2 shot contains energy just like it does now.
* Energy goe into a storage stomach where it is slowly absorbed by the robot. Excess energy is lost to the e-grid as waste or heat or anything we like.No direct DNA control at all. Everything behind the scenes and fully automated yet also able to evolve with successive generations.
:D PY :D
PurpleYouko:
Where the enzyme interacts with the e-grid directly then it will do so automatically as a robot with the correct enzyme passes over an e-grid location that contains a substance that it can metabolize.
No direct DNA control. Automated, fully backward compatible with older bots and able to mutate.
:D PY :D
PurpleYouko:
Simple, Easy, To the point and minimal hassle
:D PY :D
Botsareus:
Ok , what If I want to write a simple robot that only eats the e-grid gas and reproduces , under your system how will dna of this robot look like?
(This robot is not a plant or a hunter, It eats a gas that slowly runs out in the e-grid)
