Ref sysvar command

<< < (2/2)

MacadamiaNuts:
What if genes were generic "method" structures, and the meaning of each particle in the structure was defined by the connections.

I use here $ as 'value of', # as constant, @ as memory handle.

DNA Elements (these would be the constants to use across all genes)
1: 1000
2: 2000
3: 50
4: 1
5: 2

Primary Gene 1 Connections:
1: robage
2: nrg
3: repro
4: up

Primary Gene 1: Structure
$1 #1 >    
$2 #2 >    
#3 @3 store
stop

Secondary Gene 2:
1: gene1 (this gene "logic" is applied to gene 1 "meaning")

Secondary Gene 2:
#1 @4 store
1 3 store (connects gene 3 to gene 1)
0 2 store (connects gene 2 to nothing)
stop

Constants and connections can be limited, so all DNA structures are like 1-32. You can easily add sysvars without breaking the old evolved code, and also draw graphically the DNA connections.

Numsgil:
I can see the advantage of having a store of actual values that you reference against.  Allows you to abstract the data from the algorithm, so to speak.

Another idea I was playing with was severely limiting the range of values.  I played around with having bots only use math between -100 and 100, but found it a bit too limiting in certain cases.  Maybe something like -1000 to 1000.  Part of the problem in my eyes has been that different sysvars take and give different ranges of numbers.  If the operations mapped to a smaller and more uniform range, mutations would be better recieved.
