PurpleYouko:
Hadn't really noticed that.

I have only used it for a kind of memory reading gizmo in ant-bots.

Endy:
A problem with memloc/memval is that it's possible to query the value of one to find the other. I'd personally like it if memloc couldn't be read by another bot, this way recognition would be safer.

Numsgil:
I can see your point, but I hate the idea of another specifically designed excpetion...

I'll go with concensus.

PurpleYouko:
I agree with Num. Exceptions are bad.

If a bot is programmed (or evolved) cleverly enough to mimic the enemy by copying its memloc value then using it to find out the memval value then it deserves to be allowed to do it.

Ulciscor:

--- Quote ---Sounds like we may need to introduce a "ping" command.

We could use a,b,c to address the internal tie array and numbers to address the tie phases.

"ping a" would return 1 if there is currently a tie in the first tie array position.
"ping 12" would return a 1 if there is currently a tie with a phase of 12. 2 if there are two ties with a phase of 12.

If this would be helpful then it could very easily be added.

Would it be possible to add this? I think it might be rather useful for MB structures which need to have a particular pattern of arrangement.
