An updated Excalibur, cool! I ran Ratticus through the league again after posting and Excalibur put up a really good fight. One of the only (and best (won 4)) bot opponents I have noticed yet.

About to try it out, I look forward to the challenge.  

EDIT
Owned!! /me heads off to do H/W!

This is a neat bot!  Primarily because I can understand what it's doing

I believe that PWaste gets divided between parent and child the same as body, though I may have just done this in the C++ version.  Either way, it's worth a look to see if that strategy works.

Interesting, I think it's worth saying that this gene doesn't seem to work atm though, not sure why, maybe can't do 100 .repro anymore. (The *.paralyzed 0 = cond is a pointer to it failing!)

I think the program clamps the values it receives for reproing to the [1, 99] range.

Fixing that gene seemed to make it more efficient, (!= and repro 99) why that should make any difference in a Rat V Rat contest is not clear atm. (Unless that Pwaste bit is actually useful). If the prog did clamp the value then the gene as it stood should have made Rat useless! (Repro-ing all the time I.e.)

Light, I was wondering why you hadn't entered that bot in the league, I notice that you use aimsx as ID though and Blue will con your bot if you use that. Would imagine if you used a memloc ID or summat Blue proof you could easily reach the top of F2 at the very least!    

It would be easy for me to grab a few genes from Blue atm to beat your bot...

Blue on Blue was built after the last version of Excalibur. Before Blue, ID fooling was never very advanced so there was never any need for sophisticated ID checking, I guess you rased the bar in that respects. When im free I'll look at changing the ID to something harder to fool.

Aaah, ok.

Your latest Excalibur is proving a tough nut to crack without such trivial methods, shattering my hypothesis that the eye5width gene heralded a new generation of tougher bots! Very well written btw, I am hoping atm that the 'adaptive armour' is the underlying strength.

FYI all it took for Rat to beat the F1 crowd after winning the F2 league was the last gene, the antiviral bit. (plus ofc the anti tie bit)
Being British I support the (F2) underdogs and hope you manage to come up with a new F2/F1 winner soon!
