IM is getting interesting
« on: September 28, 2008, 03:18:29 AM »
For the first time bots entering my sim don't get killed instantly. A whole bunch of species have been roaming my sim this time around. First Multiply4 was the most successful, but seem to have been replaced by VC and Flyfruit. I don't know if they evolved more successful or if you have redesigned them. Thought I should upload a screenshot of it.

I think it might be a compination of VC getting infected by the virus in FlyFruit and the infected bots mutating to improve survival of the infected bots...
I know the VC I've seen so far where infected by the virus but didn't seem to act like fruit flies... it was more of a fungus like behavior... but seemed to work pretty well....

And one of those bots infected my Autotroph with it's dna causing it to start multiplying quickly, increased CostX to over 2, then the population dropped down, lowering CostX to 0. I'll run it again tonight and see how it goes.

I tryed running an sim on IM with standard F1 costs and some regular alge in it.
Didn't take long for some Seasnakes to pop in from eric.

As far as I can tell it's been infected by the virus version of Fruit Flie twice and then mutations have caused it to adopt a very different behavior.
Inititaly fruit flies would consume and kill everything in sight, but this thing protects the alge instead and feeds on them without killing them... so basicaly it's breeding alga minimalis while forming a fungus like patern around them... I don't know if the alga minimalis in erics sim are infected with something, but in my sim it seems like the bots around the alge are enough to protect it against other predators.
Either way Fruit Flies was never buildt for mutations, so I think it's very cool that chance caused a bot to get infected twice, making mutations less harmfull and allowing it to evolve.
This thing is so badly mutated by now you can barely reconize it, the only way I can tell it's 2 fruitflies is from the remains of the virus key.
Actualy I think this may generaly be a good idea when mutating a hand authored bot, just copy paste evrything a few times, easy way to make it more stable during the early stages of it's evolution.

They aren't.  I'm actually running a pre-version of 2.44.1 on my machine(s) that prevents veggies from getting infected with virus's when running in IM.  Viruses are too powerful in my opinion.  In IM at least, it strikes me as unfair that one can infect the all the veggies in a foreign sim.   The incoming nrg in certain sims may be such that veggies are supposed to be long lived and the eco-system may be adapted to that.  Infecting such long-lived veggies that essentially can't be killed is an enormous weapon, a sure way to insure everything in the sim gets infected no matter what.

Viruses are hard to see, hard to track, hard to watch speciate or compete as they change.  I'd prefer to tip that balance back towards viruses as a heterotroph to heterotroph weapon used by bots without veggy intermediaries.  Otherwise they essentially become the primary unit of evolution.  I'm open to opinions here of course, but inclined to do this.

Additionally, I plan to re-visit the whole infection paradigm soon.  I'd like to enable multi-gene viruses with a sequence-matching paradigm for infection targeting.  This would would provide a much more fertile ground for arms-race evolution of infection and resistance strategies between bots and viruses.

Many beers....

Well infecting the alge can certainly be a great advantage in the F1 league, although EtchII and Fruitflies don't use any viruses right now it may make a difference later on. But with alge like shrinking violet and flyfruit on IM I wouldn't be too concerned about them getting infected. Ofcourse alga minimalis is an easy target for viruses.

Flyfruit v0.92 is pretty well secured against viruses I think... they should only be able to harm it if they pop in as the last gene.
And with all the slime and the small size it'll rarely get infected anyway.

It removes viruses that are inserted before the first gene or after the last gene.
It also removes viruses that try to spread themselves, which has occured to me is probably a weakness... it should just adopt those aswell...

Either way the last gene contains all behavior and starts out by securing against anything that may affect the way the alge works.
Since it's simple in many ways and blind, it didn't need to secure that many locations....

Eiher way I think it's pretty safe against viruses and it's able to adopt new viruses as it's own if it gets infected... I just need to remove the few lines causing it to delete whatever is in .mkvirus, since this could just be used as a weapon... (I think several of the viruses in there actualy adds the next gene to .mkvirus to make a bot delete itself trying to remove the virus)

Anyway, this is v0.92 as it looks now. (Enabled copy errors and delta mutations on IM, but with a low probability, mainly to mutate the viruses)

I only made 13 different viruses or so and copy pasted them to increase chances a new virus would land in there.
Then I also stole a few viruses from bacilus and jammed them in there

So basicaly there's no need to look at all the viruses, the first and last gene contains all behavior.... one of the 13 viruses is fruitflies turned into a virus...
This version actualy starts out feeding the infected bots untill mutations change their dna length...

And making viruses more advanced sounds interesting although I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind...

I also tryed running a sim with just a few alga minimalis and seasnake (Not on IM to avoid flyfruits coming in), and it looks like it doesn't reproduce that much or feed that much from the alge, it just ties all the alge together with only a few bots and wigles around from tie length adjustment and such... but if I throw in Multiply then the second it attacks the alge the population explodes... so it looks like it saves the alge for when it realy needs it and defends it when something attacks it... the stronger the oponent the bigger the population increase... not sure how it's doing it.

Did you use the Sentinel virus? The sentinel bot itself was pretty stupid, but I think with some work, the virus can be devastating as it controls all the veggies after a while.

These where the viruses I stole from you... all inserted just once before all the dublicates of the first 13 viruses...
Didn't even check to see what they did, just needed some more viruses and was too lazy to make 'em myself...
One of the funnies viruses I thought of was this line : 10000 rnd 520 19 rnd add store
Realy messses up your eyes... not very effective as such, but the more advanced the eyes of a bot are the more this will harm it. (Unless it checks every cycle to fix the eyes again) And it looks funny

The kill shot really should have 32000 instead of -32000.
virus 3 looks like one of the early stages of Occura Amplificis, may be a bit dodgy. Be sure to replace .tin2 and 77 to whatever you use as tie conspec.
virus 6 IS the OA virus!

yeah, could work, I made a bot once called Virulus Multivirus, which I eventually gave up on due to its incompetence due to it being beaten by veggies, that detected which virus was most abundant in its DNA by having each virus increment a unique memory location, and then firing that virus. Disadvantage was, the control gene either had to be separate (making it inaccurate) or in every virus (making it slow).

Otherwise they essentially become the primary unit of evolution.  I'm open to opinions here of course, but inclined to do this.

I think that's the point. Viruses evolve as well, although the current program as it is doesn't require them to. Bots should be able to destroy viruses floating round, which is just not possible if they are pixel-sized dots floating around. Then again, viruses don't just kill and are voluntarily made in DB...

I rather like how viruses evolve.  More so than any other part of the program it models real life astoundingly well.  Don't fight the virus mutations, embrace it!  It does make tracking mutations and evolution harder, though.

This is a really interesting topic. Should viruses be allowed to evolve freely, or do they have to wait for their hosts to mutate? Probably having a mutating host would make evolution much more rapid, especially with a fast-spreading virus,  so evolving zerobots might be easier with a force-shot virus.

Early zerobot sims were successful because of viruses.  At first we thought it was a bug, since there were long sequences of almost identical DNA.  But when I spent the effort to look at a sample sequence, I realized it was a primitive virus.

It might not be the sort of thing most people think of when they think zerobot result, but it's certainly interesting in its own right.

I'd like to see a check box that can prevent viral firing completly, then we could set-up Shepards that can safely force zero bots to fire viruses.

I tried a viral evosim today; it seemed to work better than they usually do (I'm not very patient with evosims), but in the end only the veggies evolved, oddly enough only backwards movement though. (and that spread fairly quickly)

Huh, what is the point then. If you force zerobots to fire virusus if they can't. What do I miss.
Oh my god, who the hell cares.
