Well, after messing around with two different alga (both based on alga_minimus and probably some others for little tidbits of code), I was wondering how I would make a plant whose top cell floats and then has cells tied to it who simply dangle below (the sim would be with gravity of some nature). Ideally, the top cell would be able to create both cells below it and other plants, while the lower cells would simply collect energy.
here's what I've come up with for maintaining a certain depth, I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it certainly creates a solid layer of floating alga when these genes are added to alga_minimus
cond
*.aim 314 !=
start
314 .setaim store
stop
cond
*.depth 5000 >
start
2 .up store
stop
cond
*.depth 3500 <
start
0 .up store
stop
So, any ideas for how I would create the different identities for the two types of cells, and how I could just generally go further with this one?
Thanks
