Now children, do I have to seperate you two :P
Carlo:
This is for Shvarz.
Shvarz, you've become an expert of evo sims, and probably you're the most expert in this kind of simulations. So, I was thinking of this experiment: would you try to run an evo sim on a version of the last DB modified to be nondeterministic? I think you're the most fit to run the experiment, since you have the best experience in tweaking evolution parameters and analyzing the results. It would be the best way to decide for a type or another of dna improvement (we could try the same also with other proposals).
As for the nondeterministic version, I have the routines ready, and I'm very curious about the result.
So? What do you think about that?
shvarz:
Sure, post a version at the FTP or e-mail it to me, whatever works for you. Would old bots work in this program? If not, then you'll have to give me some kind of working bot to start with, I suck at programming.
Numsgil:
Carlo, if you'd like the darwinbots FTP username and password to upload, send me a PM.
Carlo:
Ok, I've uploaded the experimental nondeterministic version. It's on the DarwinBots FTP, in the misc section, just at the bottom.
I've tried a bit myself with a few bots (I flamma, preservans, fish school, and a tie feeder). Robots really seem to act less efficiently and in a less predictable way; but this may just depend on the fact their reaction times are longer, since only a gene per cycle is executed. The tie feeder didn't worked at all, probably relying on the execution of two genes in the same cycle. The fish school seemed to work pretty well.
Anyway, it needs to be tested by someone who knows better the actual program and the actual bots than I do. I even wasn't able to run a decent simulation: for some reason, veggie number (on the bottom bar) was always stuck to 101, except it sometimes suddenly started to grow. Maybe it has something to do with the old settings files in my DB folder or it is a bug of 2.36.
Ok. Shvarz, if you want to run some evo sim and tell us you impressions...
