Hyperspeed Mode
jknilinux:
Actually, I don't see a problem with the speed-of-light thing... Having a speed of light makes the sim more realistic, and it won't have a performance penalty assuming we use the hashlife algorithm.
Also, I'm saying that a chaotic environment will be too difficult for a bot to evolve in. They won't get consumed by the CA, since their physical implementation is not bound by the regular CA rules. It's just that you can't evolve consistent behaviour when your environment is too chaotic... we still need still-lifes and consistent moving objects for the bots to interact with.
Numsgil, any input?
Numsgil:
The speed of light thing... the problem is that it's really slow.
A CA based Darwinbots would undoubtedly work, with a bit of tweaking and the like, but I'm just really not a fan of CA.
Houshalter:
Umm... This has nothing to do with darwinbots really, just the theoretical CA you mentioned. Oh, and tell me if im making any sense with this. I was thinking about using a CA to simulate biology realistically. There would be different "protiens" that could be created by assembling different types of cells. There would be a protien for cell membranes that would be mostly impeneratable. You could have a plant or crystal type cell that would grow like a virus as it collects random flying debris. Then you could have herbivore type organisms which would manufacture special enzymes that would deactivate the cystal and transform it into plain cells, which could be changed and assembled into more protiens. Carnavores would attack the herbivores with more special enzymes which would break through the cell membrane and do chaos to the cells internal machinery. The carnavores would then pull in the different protiens that were flying around in the chaos and use them for its own purposes, or reject them, grabbing on to as many unproccessed cells as possible.

Do you mean slow in the real world, for us? Or for the bots?
Numsgil:
Speed of light in a CA is quite slow.
