Blind bot

[Panda]

I think this might have been used before... The challenge is to create a "fully functional bot" without using any of the eyes, any of the ins/outs or any of the refvars. I have no idea how possible this is to do and I haven't thought over it... but I think we should have a go...

Fully functional bot in this case(Stolen from PhiNotPi and modified) :

• Feed off of prey.  This can be as inefficiant as needed, as long as the bot gains net energy from the attack.
• Not attack conspecs.  It should not treat conspecs as enemies.
• Reproduce.  This should be controlled with some sort of condition.
• Populate the sim in F1 conditions.  It will be released into an environment of Alga_Minimalis.

I hope this will be harder than the last! :p It's fine to add or help with other bots too. I think this will work better as a community challenge!

Well that's easy as done

Code: [Select]

start
*.maxvel 20 div *.vel sub - .up *.vel *.maxvel 22 div sub sgn 1 sub abs mult store 'travel at constant velocity
.tie *.hitup -- abs mult inc 'if hit by something in front of you tie to it
.hitup *.hitup mult dec 'reset value of hitup
50 .sharenrg *.multi mult *.timer 10 mod -- abs sgn -- abs mult store 'share energy with everything it's tied too - including veggies which will give it energy every 10 cycles
50 .repro *.nrg 2000 sub sgn ++ sgn mult store 'when bot has 2000 energy reproduce
stop

Just going to test it now

EDIT -> made a mistake in the reproduction part though I've now fixed it and the bot is doing well for itself

It doesn't have to be short by the way. :p

[ashton1993]

ah shucks it works anyway XD

[Panda]

Okay... then, if anybody else submits one, then it will go against that one. :p (Makes it a little harder. Hehe.)

[ashton1993]

 anyway made it a bit more orderly and efficient =D

Code: [Select]

start
*.maxvel 2 div *.vel sub - .up *.vel *.maxvel 3 div sub sgn 1 sub abs mult *.robage 10 sub sgn - ++ sgn mult store 'travel at constant velocity
.tie *.hitup -- abs mult *.numties -- sgn - ++ sgn mult inc 'if hit by something in front of you tie to it
.hitup *.hitup mult dec 'reset value of hitup
50 .sharenrg *.multi mult *.timer 2 mod -- abs sgn -- abs mult store 'share energy with everything it's tied too - including veggies which will give it energy every

10 cycles
50 .repro *.nrg 2000 sub sgn ++ sgn mult store 'when bot has 2000 energy reproduce
stop

I forgot to say... you can also use "tin" and "tout"... because that's not using sight.

[PhiNotPi]

This bot seems to do well, as in it destroys the previous entry.  It constantly fires ties, which allows it to capture food from a distance.  The gain of capturing more food most likely outweighs the cost of extra tie firing.  If the bot fires a tie at conspec, it is repelled and deletes the tie.  This has the benifit of sending offspring away to find more food.

Code: [Select]

start
5 .aimdx store
1259 .tout1 store
*.tiepres .tienum store
*.numties 0 =
.tie inc
*.tin1 1259 !=
.tieloc dec
-1000 .tieval store
not
-10 .up store
*.tiepres .deltie store
*.nrg 3000 >
10 .repro store
