DarwinBot Awards
Numsgil:
I think you might be missing the point:

Ok, I've changed it from the simpler bot, to a 4d based bot that reproduces only based on time, ideally the entire bot will copy this timer related genes and develop more timer related genes. Or will simply destroy itself by cycle 3000 in 2 and 3 generations.
bacillus:
I'm still hesitant to accept it; look at the virus shooter as an example, the reproductive death is just a byproduct of trying to achieve success by killing everything with a virus.
gymsum:
Ok, Now I understand. I didnt go with a virus, but a shoot store that changes every cycle, and should let the bot get something going before completely dieing off.
Moonfisher:
Ehm, just to avoid confusion, the Darwin awards are for people who die doing something very stupid. Like people who jump off a roof holding an umbrella... stuff like that... basicaly people that are doing us all a favor by exiting the gene pool.
It kind of defeats the purpose of DB though, since a lot of the mutated bots you get can't survive in the long run, either don't reproduce, or do it too often and stuff like that...
It's hard to find bots that do something exceptionaly stupid though... I think those would be the interesting ones, those who die out in a less obvious way by doing something stupid...
