Any other Zerobot Sims?
Endy:
Ran a test on it and it will repeatedly reproduce if you turn Brownian motion on. Just have to make sure and ween them off it once they evolve a little bit further.
Ta-183:
Thanks endy.
Prsn828:
Just wanted to point out that there is no reproduction in the DNA you posted earlier.
As often seems to be the case, zerobots like to find weird ways to reproduce, and I have never seen a .repro in the DNA of a zerobot...
Any ideas on why?
Ta-183:
Actually, yes. Even with my severely limited knowledge of DNA code, I can tell how they reproduce. In DNA, every command has a corresponding number. For example, .shoot is 7 if I recall correctly. I'm probably wrong, but I think I remeber .repro being 50.
Testlund:
As far as I've seen in my own sims the most common command present in the genes of a reproducing bot is inc. According to the bot help file this command only increments a stored value in memory. Eventually that value will pass the reproduction value and the bot reproduces.
The reason why .repro is so rare and inc is so common as a reproduction method I think is because DB isn't totally random. It is somewhat seeded where you have a set pattern how the mutations will occur. There was a discussion here where we talked about making DB more random. I hope this can be implemented in DB3.
