Welcome To Darwinbots > Newbie
How did you find DarwinBots?
bacillus:
I actually came to know about DB through Commander Keen; strangely, I met him through another friend, who coincidentally dabbed in DB for a while a few years ago but gave up on it.
After I became involved, I looked around for better alternatives, but didn't find any; at that point, I already had my own simulator up and running, but gave up on it due to my poor GUI programming skills.
btw. what species were used for Swarm vs. Swarm?
Gantolandon:
Wikipedia. I searched for some evolution simulators.
Cyberduke:
I was reminiscing about a game I used to have an the Atari ST where you could build robots by wiring up sensors to actuators and memory locations using a GUI and then they would battle each other in an arena, find their way out of mazes etc I think they also needed to eat ‘food’ and on the map they looked like a mini version your wiring configuration.
Then I was thinking about c-robots and terrarium, and did a search for a C# version of c-robots and came across darwinbots in a google search somewhere along the line, which then made me think about a few other Atari ST and DOS evolution sims I had seen along similar lines to sim life.
Anyway I loved the idea of combining the two, so after writeing a few basic bots, I got into doing the zerobot sims.
bacillus:
I used a java program for a while that let you program tanks to run in an arena. It was quite complex, with having to balance radar strength, movement efficiency, developing a way to tell walls apart from enemy tanks etc.

hi everyone! im a total noob to this so dont mind if I ask a lot of questions.I found darwinbots when I was looking at evolution sims on youtube!
