Changes 2.43 - 2.43.1d
Numsgil:
The version I ran froze after about an hour. Otherwise it worked fine, even with my less than reliable connection.
Unfortunately, our GoDaddy account only has one FTP name/password combination, so using this as a long term solution is out. I was playing around with setting up a Database to handle internet sharing, and have a PHP form that the program silently fills out and submits to upload a bot, and a similar form that the program can use to request a bot to be downloaded. I'm pretty sure it's possible, but I don't know enough PHP or SQL to work it out.
EricL:
It would be lovely if we could use a folder the site can easily get to for future stats gathering and display on the site. I'd like to have the sim drop population turd files that drive a stats page for a start. Is there a possibility of getting accitional FTP accounts/credentials? I'll pay for it if it's reasonable.
Failing that, I have a hosted FTP share we can move to for awhile.
I'd love to move to a real client-server architecture at some point, but if we write a server, we have to manage it. The nice thing about file serving is that there is so little to go wrong server side... You just have to work within the limited client-server semantics...
Numsgil:
It all just comes down to money. An actual server can be rather expensive. Even just an FTP dump might run a little money. I think the better solution is to find a way to hook up one of our 10 free SQL databases on the webspace to the program in some way. After all, we're just looking for something to dump files into and out of. PHP and SQL seem a fine solution for this.
This is alot of why I'm moving to .NET in the new version. It has some very nice web interfacing controls.

Nice to see you back on this project again, Eric! I had no idea there were so much left to fix!
I'm sitting here thinking if I should go ahead and download the latest fix or wait until I've reached 50M cycles and then start a new sim with the best bots. I'm at 46716865 cycles right now, still running 2.43. Maybe loading a complete sim will break it in the latest version, because so much have been changed.
The new sysvars looks very cool! I'm thinking maybe the bots could evolve to use those in more ways than one.

Nice to be back. Not too much to fix, but lots of cool new features....

I would be very surprised and disappointed (in myself) if 2.43d does not properly load and run your evo sim. That would be called a bug. I know of no post 2.43 changes that would impact the physics any evolved bots have come to rely upon.... Go ahead, give it a try.
Your gonna love F1 Internet mode....
