Wow.
I tried to modify it, but there was something I wasn't sure about:
cond
*.971 1 =
start
1256 4 div
*.971 .tie store
stop
why not just write
cond
*971 1 =
start
1 .tie store
stop
it'll have the same effect.
You're right the code should be improved, and actualy that is what I'm trying to figuring out now.
The birth tie disolve automaticaly while it would be nicer to keep on working with it.
Another note maybe people reading the topic trying it get disapointed is that a fractal.
wherent it those beautifull collor things ??
Take a look here
http://www.miqel.com/fractals_math_pattern...e-fractals.htmlBasicly its a repeating shape, what the above darwin code tries look much like the
honeycomb fractal on that site.
Think of it as each cell/bot as a branch dividing to x new branches, while each sub also does this, that explains the shape.
In fact seeing it in Darwin Bots much closer describes some of these fractals as they compare to nature.
Fractals or "the golden ratio" are solutions of close packaging problems.
I once had a dutch computer drawing architect teacher how got a DR degree by making clear that the golden ratio isnt some magical number.
But is related to construction physics, and close packaging. And those rules he explained govern the distribution for example of solar flower seeds (in the flower). And many other natural structures. In his time he was at the frontline with his research and publication, working together with a bioligy DR in Germany. (even got on a TV documentary). Well he got his degree and he had used autocad in combination with math to explain it, all.
(so that part was quite complex).
And so I think its nice to see that also a system like Darwin Bots logic shows us fractals.
This means that ordening might be how to say..
Does verry easily develop using verry simple logic, and simple rules.
Rules with an origin in genetics !.
Hmm if I only could remind his name, I could show it to him, I'm sure he would be excited about it.
