5 Questions re DB opns

Numsgil:
I don't know why you're console help isn't working.

Here's what it says:


--- Quote ---This console works as an input/output interface for a single robot.
It could be used for robot debugging and manipulation.
One of the most useful features of the r.c. is that it shows
which parts of the dna are executed in each cycle. Just press the single
cycle button to try. To watch the entire dna, just click the button at
the extreme right in the console.

Other commands are:
printeye : prints the eye cells status
printtouch : prints the touch cells status
printtaste : prints the taste (hit) cells status
printmem (or ?) (.var|n): prints value of .var or location n
set (.var|n) value : stores value in variable .var or location n
energy e : sets the robot's energy at e
cycle n : executes n cycles
execrob : executes all robots without doing a cycle
showdna : brings up the robot details window showing the robot's dna
--- End quote ---

Are you typing it into the command line?

Here's what it looks like:

Nums, PY, shvars,

Excellent, Gents. Excellent indeed.

One outstanding:  Best bot -- when multiple bots have the same # kids what criteria does the program use to select which one for autosave? The red one? Something with "42" in it since 42 is the answer to...well, you know.

As for the remainder:

Got it all. Everything is copacetic. I have seen the error of my ways. I am armed with copious correct information. I go forth now knowing that the true answers are mine. I am content.

For the moment.

Thanks, all, again.

PurpleYouko:
The best bot issue has been raised a number of times before. It is really a big problem for us to actually figure out who the best bot really is.

There are chunks of code in the program that are made to find things like oldest survivor, most offspring, most health and a whole bunch of others. the trouble is that they are not linked to anything.

It may be an idea at some point to add a list of options to the menu so that you can specify which kind of best you actually want.

To be quite honest it isn't an area of the code that has received a great deal of attention. I have no idea what haopens in your scenario but I guess I can find out and let you know.

 :D  PY  :D

shvarz:
The only reasonable way to find the best bot is to look at the frquency of different genotypes.  The one most frequent is the best.  In case you don't know: The snapshot feature that PY made together with the excel sorting utility do the trick nicely.

Old Henk:

--- Quote ---4.  No idea.  I just copy and paste DNA from the console to a text file.

You can also right-click a bot, and select "Save Robot DNA as".
This way, those "----------1, ----------2" lines aren't there.
