I would presume most of you have tried either Avida or Tierra, or both.
I don't want to give a description, but those of you who have tried them know that they save new 'genomes' if they get above a certain threshold (normally 3).
This could be really nice to have when running evolutionary simulations, because often you dont what to sit and watch the screen for 6 hours or more, and push the snapshot button, now and then.
The bestbot save is extremly useless too. And I am not talking about a snapshot, but all possibly evolved 'bot-species' which will reach a user defined threshold will be saved. When you want to just look at evolution alone, the snapshot feature is useless, only the different genomes are interesting.
I know you will add more database recording etc., but beginning with this simple feature, you will be able to build onto this at a later stage in the developement, and it will be easy to implement.
I know I can add this to the source code, and I have alot of experince with VB, but I cant get the source code to function properly and when I compile it is even worse.
:( :shoot: VB :pokey:
This could be really nice! :clap:
