5 Questions re DB opns
AZPaul:
Thanks folks, again.
I was just wondering how this feature worked in 2.35
It is not a major issue, PY, and no need to spend time searching through old code.
The issue is interesting, though.
The "goal" of evolution, if it can be said to have one, is procreation. Dawkin's Selfish Gene, if you will. Number of offspring is the prime key, of course. For programming efforts, though, the secondary and tertiary sort selection is a quandry.
Is longevity a proper second? Is a slow breeder that lives long "better" than a fast breeder with limited life? I donno.
Most cumulative mutations? Maybe. That is of interest. That is the reason for the simulation isn't it. Most mutations from the start of the sim and still tied for top breeder? That may indeed be "best."
My input: # offspring
# cumulative mutations
# cycles (age)
any bot with "42" in the DNA
Well, maybe not that last one.
-P
Numsgil:
I think this is a strong candidate for an outgrowth of the scripting stuff PY started.
PurpleYouko:
Right. The scripting could easily me modified to include that sort of thing. Then you don't have to worry about pausing the game up or anything. Just set the scripting editor to automatically save a snapshot file when a robot meets the criteria that you set.
Numsgil:
We all agreed it should be expanded and included.
And have since sat on it. We need like a team of programmers (like 5) to really get the program moving as fast as the ideas are comming in.
Ulciscor:
I don't think I'm a good enough programmer to be of any help, personally.
