my first evo sim

<< < (5/5)

Endy:
I normally just use evolution to look for "improved" dna I can make use of in a standard bot. You can't take this too far though, since alot of the improvements evolution comes up with won't be useful in a normal F1 match.

Numsgil:
I don't think it's easy or maybe even possible to evolve a strain to do well in F1.  At least not with present methods.  F1 is an extremely artificial starting point, with robots evenly distributed and all with the same amount of nrg.  The only way to do it would be through something like a genetic algorithm: have the program take a zero bot, run it against a successful F1 bot, create some mutated children, run those against the successful F1 bot.  Mate the bots that live the longest (or kill the enemy in the shortest time once you get that far), and repeat until you get a bot that is good against that F1 species.  To program something like that DB would need to be automatable, so you could set it up and let it run over a few weeks.  But you're almost guaranteed results.
