basically my evolve series of bots use simple 'feelings', it is not neural programming.
Still it does result in intresting behaviour, in the first series evolve-2 the aiming was simple
So you cold spot this behaviour easily.
But i write it down in normal english, this bot shoots a bit longer shots (actually based on distance).
But every shot costs him something, the cost is reset when nothing is in eye5 (so the move gene runs)
If the eye5 gene is not running then the move gene is running
The move gene resets the missed shots (you could also write it to count them down).
Back to the eye5 gene, if there are to many shots missed then it will perform a fixpos, and if even more shots are missed then it turns away from this difficult to get prey.
Also while in gene5 execution if it was under pain, then that counted for 3 shots (which is i think a bit low, but well that's easily changeable).
Later bots evolve series had better aiming techniques but still sometimes made use of the fixpos, or of the givingup option tricks.
As a result of that behaviour the bots didnt endlessly shoot at bots they cant get, they stop the hunt after a while.
the better aiming was gained by also moving like
*.refdx 2 div .dx store besides the
.up moves.
the code is an early version without the .dx adjustments
So its better to spot this behaviour, SIM sohuld be F1 no friction (so we get aiming problems for this bot).

'Note this bot always tries to eat
'It checks (still to improve) if eating was succesfull
'Is it a Gain or Pain ?
'So it wont keep shooting runing & spinning, if its out of reach

I know its a real old topic, but since i just made them (just a week ago)
And it answers this post i thought lets post it, its a basic principle, and could be used in other more advanced bots too
So if someone else gets into this thread he would get an answer.
(i came here looking for neuron based bots)
