Bots and Simulations > Simulation Emporium

Congo Lines

(1/3) > >>

Endy:
Really oddball behavior that turned up in a zerobot sim. Basically the two congo lines of bots along the edges will switch sides in the sim every so often moving in unison with a group bots on the opposite side. It "seems" to be tied to a low population level, but could also be using timer somehow to co-ordinate the movement.

Presumably the behavior did something useful for the bots when the sim was fully torroidal, but it wasn't as noticeable. The bots got part of their dna from Ikke's zerobots, so may look familiar.

Endy:
After a few eons the bots appear to have evolved to use the trefs to determine their shootvals for their shot distances. Not sure if it's trefnrg or trefbody that they're using, but basically whenever they're tied to a large bot/veggie they'll put more nrg into feeding.

They've also developed a mass based condition for shooting. Generally prevents anything with more than 1 mass from feeding. I think its done to prevent non-reproducing mutants from feeding at a super large state, since most of the bots never reach that size.

d-EVO:
that is so cool!

seriously developed from a zbot
can never get zbots to do cool stuff like that.
How long was the sim running for?
Did you anly start with zeros? if so how many

Endy:
This particular sim has something like 17 days of runtime. I've restarted it a few times now though so it probably has over 50 total days. Mainly use hypermutation to give me my starting zerobot dna. Induced viruses to combine Ikke's zbot's reproduction genes with my zbots. Right now I'm just inching the costs up, they're at .7 now so don't have too much further to go.

jknilinux:
Do you mean .7 of F1 costs?
