Welcome To Darwinbots > Newbie
Help !!!
Nikica:
So on the tutorial it says that there should be green and yellow bots, the yellow are T_Preservans, so I must add them and the green bots, but what bots are the green ???
EDIT: Oh I added the T_Preservans and they are green ???
Ok forget that they always change the colors when I add them but now its harder to find out what where the green ones !??
Jez:
Most people probably have the veg as green and normally the veg is alga_minimalis. Make sure it is the first one on your 'loaded species list''
Now click on it so the name 'alga_minimalis' is highlighted in blue, set 'individuals' to 10 'starting energy' to 3000 and tick the 'vegetable' box
Also there is a pull down box where you can select the colour, so set that to green.
All of these can be found on the screen that appears when you choose 'new simulation', you don't need to use any of the other tabs at the top for now.
If you are flicking backwards and forwards between the 'new simulation' screen and the internet then you do need to make sure that 'alga_minimalis' is highlighted in blue each time you make one of these changes.
When you have done all of that add 'T_Preservans' to your 'loaded species list', set 'individuals' to 5 'starting energy' to 3000 and make sure the 'vegetable' box is not ticked.
Also use the pull down box again but this time set the colour to yellow.
If you don't choose the colour for each bot yourself the program will give it a colour which is the problem you were having.
Hey presto! Start your new sim, you should now have yellow T_Preservans running around trying to eat the green veg.
T_Preservans is an old bot so it might not work that well, if you want help learning how to download a newer bot to try out then just say and I'll provide instructions on how to do that as well!

Ok, I know hov to download bots, but in that way how it's spelled Beastiary or Bestiary, and I don't really understand the highlighted sentence, so in that way I highlighted the veggie bot but when I clicked the button to Opera (my browser), and then clicked back to the DarwinBots screen the "New simulation" tab disapered ???
Jez:
Yeah, you also have to keep reopening the 'new sim' bit each time. Each of the changes you make for the bot while the 'new sim' bit is open will be remembered for you when you open it again though. Just make sure the bot that you want to change things for is highlighted each time.
Or you could shrink the DB window and the internet window so you can read the instructions at the same time as making the changes... (I only just thought of that but probably the easiest way!)
(You can move the 'simulation settings' window around the screen so it's easy enough).
Nikica:
Thanks but you don't said how it's spelled Beastiary or without the a, and I saw Ymir there but the link to the text file is not more working so I copied the text in a *.txt file but Numsgil didn't wrote only the DNA he gave some comments too so I copied them too (I copied evrything from the theard), my question is when I copy the comments too will the DNA be proper, and what too do after finishing the "Your First Simulation" tutuorial ???
