hm intresting so you want to keep the algea from evolving by using a gene system.
I gues the gene system could also get damaged.
While the purpose of sexrepro was I think to exchange DNA... hmmm ahm hm well maybe that works I duno
Your idea is the reproduction method will depend on it so it becomes an evolutionairy force.
That is to say... until theoreticaly sexrepro turns into .repro
But thats a small chance
Dough if you dont want any evolving at all you might also put in the
So I asume you still like it to evolve but be more depended on other bots.
As a kind of penalty for their so easy living method to get energy.
And you dont want them to win each time in the end...
Compared to what I wrote I'm curious how well does it live in a sim?
The algea I wrote cant do repro (unless there he's eaten/killed) so it needs bots to survive.
It depends so strong on it that in fact the DB fishtank can dye, an eco disaster.
Often I saw a verry low population, while other bots florished and killed them all.
Then there was only none or one left, and so next the animals died too.
I never tried that repro nor did I try viruses.. but I wonder what is the effect of mrepro ? I rarely see it used
