Threshold species!
Greven:
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:

PurpleYouko:
This sounds like a very useful addition to the scripting function.
What is your problem with source code?
Did you get VB 6.0 or soem freebie version like you get with one of those "visual basic for dummies" books.
I bought one of those a few years back and DarwinBots won't run on it at all.
Numsgil:
A working version of VB6 is also on the FTP. Try it.
shvarz:
Do you know about the snapshot analysis tool made by PY? It is very usefull and actually lists all the genomes in the snapshot and their frequencies.
The feature you are suggesting would be quite useful of course. On the other hand, its usefulness will go away if you switch to sexual reproduction - the resources necessary to analyze and align all the genome sequences correctly will be enormous.

Oh god.
LANCE: I don't know you, who is this, don't come here, I'm hangin' up.
