Neural networks using bots
Numsgil:
Well, a neural network is good at making distinctions between the values of actions. Like if producing shell decreases pain of the organism (bots can't feed on it), it'd learn to do that. Produce too much shell, and it's pain would increase again (since pain is change in energy, and it takes energy to make shell) so it wouldn't make that much. So a neural net could theoretically figure out a good balance on the fly by 'learning'. The hardest part I think is figuring out the basic interactions between the bots/neurons.
PY, if I could make a suggestion, I would move ALL ties into a system like your new one for length and angle. I'll be working on tie physics a bit too (revamping the entire physics code 'cept collisions. Stupid drag got me excited about physics, such a headache) so tie angle and length commands may need to be modified in what they do, I'm not sure yet, I'll keep you posted.
Ulciscor:
Lol [Bot] I know this is probably a totally useless idea but it's a fun one nevertheless. I don't suppose there could be many applications other than what [Nums] suggested.
I was thinking maybe it could learn to change its own genome using viruses or something crazy like that to give itself an advantage in a situation. Dunno if it'd work though.

Numsgil:
Do you have a good idea how to set up the structure of the net? I haven't really played with neural networks, so I'm not experienced with the basic structure and interactions between neurons.
I mean, I understand in theory, but I have no idea how to start writing DNA code for it.
Botsareus:
I see , basicaly a more complex multibot. I never seen a multibot more then 4 cells big. So yea , this should be fun.
Ulciscor:
As far as I know a neural net is a set of idiots each with a certain function, and information passes through the network and is modified and acted upon by the 'neurons.' So I just envisaged a load of bots tied together sending information via the ties, then performing operations on the information until an action is performed.
As for how to code it, I do not as of yet have any idea lol. I am reading about nets right now though so hopefully I will have some good ideas soon.
