And I'll probably use it for shapes in the simulation, so that bots can tunnel in to them and form ant nests.

Thats AWESOME!!!!  :D . I love darwinbots and i want to help badly. I think it was this thread that I said my computer crapped out and I could not help. Turns out I have a virus(and my computer is old and prone to problems.). But the virus does not let me access the internet and breaks most programs I install. Visual studio was one of them. But right now i am working on getting rid of them and have already gotten rid of several. If they are gone by monday and my laptop can connect to the internet I should be able to re download visual studio and help. If not monday hopefully in the end of june. I don't know most of the things needed to create this but Ill try my best to help in some way.

What else do you have planned for darwinbots 3?

Numsgil:
You might want to consider just wiping the computer and installing windows fresh.  It takes about 8-16 hours to get everything wiped and re-install windows and all your applications that you use regularly.  So it's a huge pain, but then everything is fresh and there's no more trace of the virus.  Often once a system gets virused there's no good way to recover it.  Even if you remove the virus it usually manages to trash the system one way or another.

...

The major improvements over DB2 I'm thinking about:

[*]Digging in to shapes to form nests
[*]Swimming (using fluid dynamics),
[*]A stable physics system that can handle building structures from bots without toppling over.
[*]Infinite distance vision
[/list]

Right now I'm working on the graphics parts.  I'm building it to be hardware accelerated with proper vector graphics.    The end result won't be much different from DB2, but it should be much faster.  I'm going to post a sample of it in a few months so I can make sure it works on everyone's hardware, etc.

...

Let me know when you get Visual Studio (2010) up and running.  I'll show you how to get the computational geometry project building.  I've got the tests spitting out SVG pictures you can look at in Chrome, which is pretty cool.
