So, you think it's strange too, I am not the only one. Well I think it is only something strange but it is not bad the multibots does'nt work less becouse of it.


About the cost advantages

I quote from the wiki.

MB Advantages
[edit]
Pre 2.4

The MBs have several advantages over a normal Single Bot(SB). Most of these are in the form of cheaper actions (costs of actions divided by number of other bots the current cell is connected to).

Post 2.4

(I believe I have gotten rid of these artificial advantages, but I will have to check. --Numsgil 13:16, 18 Sep 2005 (MST))

2.5 is something like 95% done.  It's just missing bot debugging tools and multibot physics.  But I abandoned it when it became clear that it wasn't going to be easily maintainable.  At the moment I'm researching physics so I can be in a position to implement the more complex physical reactions correctly.  Also, 2.43 has quite a few features added to it that the C++ source doesn't.  On the other hand, the physics are much nicer in the C++ code.

When I start again it'll probably be from scratch using C#.  I'll probably start with the physics and work the rest of the program into that.  I should be in a position to start sometime in the next few months.  If you want to start tinkering around int the VB source, you'll find it very easy.  I actually learned VB working on this project.
