shootval and distance for -1 shots

<< < (5/5)

You should test shot lifetimes with various shootvals.
Then with various body sizes, because that's also a factor. Once you know shot lifetime, multiply by 40 to get distance.

I remember I did this at some point and the results were not what the formula in the wiki predicted. I'm not sure if I posted a chart of my results somewhere, but you can easily do the experiments in half an hour or so.

I worked out the increase in shot distance is lineraly proportional to eye distnce and so the overall change is nil and no change was needed when I tested it earlier, hasn't shot distnace been worked out already?

EDIT: Opps, I thought you meant the size of the bot using the gene not the bot it was colecting information from... hmm now that's a whole new story

I think I agree with you peter all robots could be coded with conditionless logic, I believe it actually increases the possible options as it adds aditional complexity and breaks conditions up into smaller peices.

I think for the moment -32 *.eye5 div .valshoot store    (works for starting robots)..
i got to admit not tested it against all sizes

Getting good data is the biggest problem here and it does take a long time to get it, not a half hour i'm afraid

if you still have the data i would be happy to synthesize a math formula on it
