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.

I got VB 6 Enterprise Edition. When I try to run the source code, and error occur in the string-function, cant remember what error, I am at work now, but I will try it once more when I get home, and report the exact error etc. tomorrow!


--- Quote ---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.

I know about the snapshot function, but I dont what to push the button once every 10 min. or so. Also when I am at work or sleeping I cant push the button either... :P  ;)
And because of that I can lose important mutants / mutations in the evolutionary race.  :(


--- Quote ---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.

That is quiet true, but still sexual reproduction is still under discussion, or so I think, and is not finished yet.  :unsure:

If they are so important, why would they disappear so quickly?  :)

I think at some point we had the option of "snapshot" being done every N minutes.  Not sure if it still there of if it works, look in "recording" options.

PurpleYouko:
The old database system (still there and usable) records the DNA of each and every robot as it dies.

It has its uses but what we need is a more versatile system, most likely based on scripts, that will allow us to take snapshots at intervals or when something interesting happens.
The scripts already include taking a snapshot when a specific mutation occurs. The trouble is that you still have to manually enter the file name and path. We probably need to set up a "seed" path and filename, then append an incremented digit to the end for each save.

Shen:
I havnt been able to get the database recording working for some time. I get "File Error 52" whatever that is. Snapshot works fine though.

PurpleYouko:
You do?

I guess I just assumed that it still worked since I never physically disabled it when I added snapshot.

Yet another thing to add to the "to do list" sigh  :sad2:
