F3 league

<< < (4/8) > >>

Numsgil:
I'd disallow things like deleting genes to fool conspec, but something as simple as parroting back in values is fine.

Peter:
Here is my application for F3 league .
It doesn't need wrong tricks like virussus.
It isn't using any mean stuff like poison, shell or venom.
No slime eather, why waste it if you can use it for shooting.
It doesn't use ties, ties are mean. Philosophy is just that a opponent/colleague should go freely.
It doesn't use body shots, those are bad to the body.
It doesn't reproduce, the sim is already full enough.
It also doesn't use any conspec recocnition, it is just evil to check if the one you're shooting at has the same dna as you do.

Shortly a very smart bot

.shoot inc
--- End code ---

bacillus:
I think deleting genes comes into a similar category to viruses ;no messing with DNA.

abyaly:
F2 matches are mostly decided by good application of shell, venom, and body management.
These are the "dirty tricks" of F2; things that can make a weak bot much stronger simply by their addition.
Ties, viruses and (unofficially) harsh info shots are the "dirty tricks" of F1; things that can make a weak bot much stronger simply by their addition.

I think F3 should forbid the "dirty tricks" of both F1 and F2.

Moonfisher:
Ties are still used in F2, it's only tie feeding wich isn't alowed... so you can still do a lot of harm with ties in F2...
Read somewhere that one of the early F2 bots made the oponent spin around or something... but currently wasting energy on high shoot values and such seems to be the best way to kill with ties...
Does make a big difference that you can't feed with them though, makes it a lot harder for small bots to survive.

Still, removing venom, mem shots and ties completely does make it a lot simpler... those are some of the areas that can be realy tricky to figure out...
And if deleting genes isn't allowed it'll be easy to make a conspec too...
But it is true that shell and poison are very powerfull... but there should probably also be something in F3 to make it a litle interesting... so if you want a top 10 F3 placement you need to get the hang of shell and poison... I think it's within reason, shell is easy to understand, and poison introduces the conept of messing with your oponents memmory.
