New zerobot simulation

--- Quote from: Drognan ---Is this good time to introduce costs? There is over 400 zerobots with 900 zeroes in sim, other species are stuck below 10. Sim is draging like a dead cow by now, 1,6 cycles per sec.

Wow. At this point, I'd be getting 10 seconds per frame

It's a new laptop, dual core   , now there are 500 bots, same speed

Drognan:

--- Quote from: Numsgil ---Are you judging "first" based on real world time or number of cycles?  3600 bps will make any sim chug.

real world time, but these zerobots, and zerobots with 3600 zeroes were introduced into the sim in the same time so I guess that it's the same.

Now about those costs.... anyone?

Numsgil:
You can always try to introduce aging costs and the like.  But basically the costs can have unpredictable results at times, so it's less a science and more a fiddle-with-the-knobs-until-you-get-it-right.  I'd say morphological costs (costs for moving, shooting, etc.) are better than arbitrary costs like aging.

I usually start by adding ageing cost first. This puts a premium on shorter reproduction cycles and speeds up evo. Usually when introducing other cost I relax ageing cost temporarily.

Drognan:
OK, contest is over, zerobots with 900 zeroes started shooting and reproducing and devastated all other species. So, I guess more zeroes or random numbers doesn't always  guarantee survival. Oh, btw, zerobots with 30 zeroes never developed even reproduction.
