Evolution

<< < (2/2)

Peter:
You're right, if a bot reproduce at 5000 nrg, you keep the body of all bots down by shooting them under 1000 or something. And by reproducing they kee a low body.

That works if there isn't a gene or genes that connect nrg with body, using nrg to make the body at all time bigger than 1000, would kill probalbly all bots of the specie.

If I understand it right you want to kill all bots that have a body above 1000, so keep shooting if the body becomes lower and killing it, that could be a problem let the bot in fact shoot a bot that is weaker, and don't shoot natural strong bots. Or do you want to just keep the body low without killing.

If you want to use this to get weaker opponent, I am not sure if it will work mine multiply for example has a low body, raticus(or something, the one from jez I thought) an extreme high one. Multiply wins becouse of higher numbers, something like ten multiplys are needed to kill one raticus, but it wins.

There are different ways to evolve, you could make extreme heavy strong bots. Or alot smaller ones, most evolutions I run the sim prefers just the smaller ones with joung ages and fast reproducing-time. Some cases almost cancercious. Seldom there repro-time takes longer.

Of cource there are more ways to evolve then body or number, poison or infoshots or ties or anything else.

Gaiacarra:
Ok I have another unrelated quesiton; is there anyway to make a bot selfdestruct?

Numsgil:
It's getting harder and harder to do, but a good, if a bit old fashioned, way is to make it shoot out all its nrg with something like:

*.nrg .shootval store
-2 .shoot store

Although there might be safeguards to prevent a bot from shooting out all of its nrg.  You might try something like:

*.nrg 99 mult 100 div .shootval store
-2 .shoot store

Which would make a bot lose 99% of its nrg every cycle.

EricL:
FYI, there are in fact, no safeguards on -2 shots which would prevent a bot from commiting suicide.

*.nrg .shootval store
-2 .shoot store

serves to kill a bot quite nicely in a single cycle.

fulizer:
generally if it finds a member of its own species thats stronger than it it wont live much longer anyway I tend to not make canniblastic species
