New virus?

<< < (2/3) > >>

shvarz:
This virus has been mutating and spreading more and more. Now the most prevalent form has 49 commands. But I sometimes see 9 or 12-command viruses coming into bots, but I can't find them in the DNA.  Instead, I find normal genes duplicated. In my view this is just an amazing parallel to real viruses and gene transfer. But I wonder how it happens.  Anyone cares enough to explain it to me?

Here's an example:

What I think is happening with the small 12 bp viruses is that a virus tries to make itself in to a virus, and another virus hits it in the same cycle.  The virus making target gets pushed to another hapless gene.

Viruses are one of my favorite aspects of Darwinbots.  They really do feel like real viruses.

MacadamiaNuts:
Meh. Another mutation of a LF6 beta. I'm sorry I seem to have introduced many different virus as I was doing tweaks and tests. Since they can be carried by any host, their chance of survival is at least the chance of their best host.

I noticed the wrong gene transfer too. I think it's related with differences on how .thisgene and .mkvirus understand gene count. That was how nasty plant inherited the whole LF3 DNA, back when LF was one-gene.

shvarz:
Cool!

What about this virus:

It deleted bot's own DNA and causes the infected bot to go cancerous by forcing it to divide without limitations. Who made this beast?
