I'll get to work.

I went to take a nap and came back.  The darn sim stopped using interent sharing.  (it couldn't connect to myself? lol).

Shouldn't be too hard to do what everyone's asking for.

Shvarz, the sim will appear to freeze if one of the bots gets are really high mutation rate (from the change mutation rates control).  I'm not sure why, but try running a sim with 1 bot and all mutation fields set to 1.

I'd like to set up at least one experiment where all the systems have different settings.  It'd be like simulating different environments.  If a bot is built well enough (or evolves well enough) to survive in multiple conditions, it's more likely to get itself onto the server.

That sounds like a silly idea to me.  If environments are different enough, then no bot can possibly adapt to all conditions.  If it can, then by definition the conditions are not different enough.

It can't adapt better than a native species, but it can probably survive in a bunch of different settings.
