Anti Anti Virus

Numsgil:
Here's my thoughts on overcoming some of the new anti virus techniques.

Most of the new ant virus techniques work with *.thisgene and *.genes.

I haven't tried this yet, but what if you make your virus do:

.delgene dec and .genes dec.

.delgene dec will make any delgenes miss their mark, probably screwing up the bot.  This only works if the virus comes at the end of the genome.  If the bot isn't trying to delgene anything then delgene will be < 0, and so fizzle.

.genes dec makes the bot think that it doesn't have too many genes.  This only works at the beginning of the genome.

Most of the anti viral stuff I've seen are shortbots.  Which makes sense when you don't want to mess with isolating a virus in 50+ genes.

I'll probably work out a SC2 at somepoint that tries to overcome anti viral techniques.  It's amazing how the SB are taking over the leagues  :D That's what you get with the new math operators.  Such power.

Im not sure I want to give you pointers on this topic :bigginangel:

 I know the weaknesses in Furiae's antivirus code and what you are suggesting is heading in the wrong direction :rolleyes:  

Antivirus code Ironically would do better in longer bots, it would be harder to mess it up

Numsgil:
Tried it out against Shen's The One, and it works.  Sorta.

The bot deletes itself instead of the virus.  Then other The One's take it out because they don't recognize it as a conspec anymore.

Problem with viruses is that you have to keep the slim as possible so they copy to a shot faster.  I'm working on streamlining SC's virus right now.

This just shows how nicely we simulate the viruses :)  It is one of the most typical reactions to viral infection!

Well I'm gald you're happy.   :ph43r:  I'm up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
