Conspecies references
« on: August 23, 2012, 08:40:12 PM »
I'm trying to figure out a good conspecies reference to get THIS bot:

Code: [Select]
start
*.refxpos 0 >
*.refxpos *.refypos angle .setaim store and
*.ref? *.my? !=
8 .shootval store
-6 .shoot store
stop
start
*.nrg 16000 >
10 .strbody store
stop
start
*.body 16000 >
50 .repro store
15 .aimdx store
stop
start
*.shflav -1 =
25 .up store
stop
start
*.shflav -6 =
25 .dn store
stop
start
*.shflav 0 !=
*.shflav -2 != and
0 .shflav store
*.aim *.shang sub .setaim store
*.maxvel .dn store
-4 .shoot store
*.waste .shootval store
stop

..to leave it's own conspecies alone but shoot at these two:

Code: [Select]
' Alga minimalis
'
' Vegetable
'
' This robot has a single gene,
' necessary for it to reproduce.
' Energy is given to it by the program,
' by checking the "autotroph" box.

cond
  *.nrg
  6000
  >
start
  50
  .repro
  store
  15
  .aimdx
  store
stop
end

Code: [Select]
'Animal_Minimalis
'By: Nums
'Good for mutation sims and for
'newbies to see how a basic bot works.
'Contains everything necessary for it
'to survive and reproduce.

' Gene 1 Food Finder
cond
 *.eye5 0 >
 *.refeye *.myeye !=
start
 *.refveldx .dx store
 *.refvelup 30 add .up store
stop

' Gene 2 Eat Food
cond
 *.eye5 50 >
 *.refeye *.myeye !=
start
-1 .shoot store
 *.refvelup .up store
stop

' Gene 3 Avoiding Family
cond
 *.eye5 0 =
 *.refeye *.myeye = or
start
 314 rnd .aimdx store
stop

' Gene 4 Reproduce
cond
 *.nrg 20000 >
start
 10 .repro store
stop

end

I thought using aim as a reference was a good idea but that doesn't work. It turns out looking like this in the sim:


 *.refaim *0 !=

*.myaim gets changed to 0.

I also tried to use a custom label but I couldn't get that to work either. It seems very limited what you can use as conspecies reference. Maybe I have to add an eye command to Alga Minimalis just so my bot can shoot at it.

Nevermind, I solved it! This works:

Code: [Select]
cond
*.refxpos 0 > and
*.refdn *.mydn !=
start
*.refxpos *.refypos angle .setaim store
8 .shootval store
-6 .shoot store
stop
cond
*.nrg 16000 >
start
10 .strbody store
stop
cond
*.body 16000 >
start
50 .repro store
32 .aimdx store
stop
start
*.shflav -1 =
32 rnd .up store
stop
start
*.shflav -6 =
32 rnd .dn store
stop
start
*.shflav 0 !=
*.shflav -2 != and
0 .shflav store
*.aim *.shang sub .setaim store
*.maxvel .dn store
-4 .shoot store
*.waste .shootval store
stop

Now the bot will shoot at any bot that touches it that either doesn't have any .dn commands or the wrong amount and is a different species.
