sexual reproduction!

0) create empty body (options: with little or no energy, so that the parent has to actively transfer its energy)
1) copy-and-shoot arbitrary gene OR copy-and-pump arbitrary gene (for ties)
2) test for the genome length (to know when to stop copying)
This has given me an idea.
What if two bots gave the dna rather than one?
a swarm bot that will stick together then make a third one using bth dna.
but the new bot rahter than having no genes when born has one gene stopping more bots from coming in tho the reproduction technuique.
is this an idea?
also by editing the genes that you add to it yopu could create living bombs and such

Sexual reproduction is more than just shuffling genes.  The insides of the genes themselves need to be able to be shuffled.

as I recall mutation can happen without reproduction

If you really can figure out how to create an empty host, this should not be too hard. You just need two very important activation genes to come first and then last. Have the first parent fire this gene:

*.dnalen .out1 store
*id# .out2 store
*parent# .out3 store

Now when any species of this kind looks at it they won't attack it and they will know if they should add a gene. Use the out1 to tell the parents which gene to copy. Using the out3 slot will tell which parent to fire their genes into the empty cell. Once out1 = to the parent, the gene copy is completed. Essentially this would occur between one species and hopefully one of them contains some mutation to make a bigger change.

As of now, Genes cannot be split.

easy rie at birth the if it has one tie that it shot delete all its genes
