I have stated elsewere that I had never seen interesting behavior develop!
THIS IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I started a sim with the simplebot (without conspec gene) and alga minimalis.

The simplebot did mutate around 200,000 cycles to moving in long worm like lines when very little food was around (see picture)
Why? I am not certain on this one.

The alga did then evolve this one:


--- Code: ---15 5 rnd store
--- End code ---
instead of

--- Code: ---15 .aimdx store
--- End code ---

This made the alga moving randomly around. This would seem silly, but this actually made an increase in survival, because suddenly it was harder for the bots to catch the random moving vegs, very interesting I think.

The bots counted this, by dropping the worm moving thing, and instead began to move slowlier than before, with some changes in the movement gene and the search pattern genes.

Then I would change a little in the settings, and I did set the cost for acceleration way to high, and all my bots died in a instant!  :(

Now I would like to know if the autosave works or if it is just the normale save function (did not set it, but I would like to know anyway, to lazy to try it out)!

And the autosave of the bestbot! Why is it in a stupid .dbo file you cant read to analyze? What about an option to select which format you what it in?

Interesting.

How exactly did they move?  Could it be that they were just "running after food"?  If a bot is moving in a more or less straight line when it does not see anything and follows any bot that it sees, that would create these lines.

BTW, saving "best" bot is not the best idea - the bot with most offspring may happen to be just a bot that mutated a reproduction gene.  Saving "snapshot" makes much more sense.

I've seen this one develop too.  Randomly moving vegs are hard to catch.

Yep, they both use the same routines.

The .dbo file lets you save whole organisms, such as multibots, which is something that DNA files can't do.

Regarding .dbo files:
The file is not normal text! It is binary, which I can not read! :)

And the straight lines:
This maybe true, this would explain alot, but I think it is rather intersting anyway, because it seem that this helped the bots to survive when there were no food!!??

I know it is not the "bestbot", but you know what I'm talking about, right?

Is that a suggestion?   ;)
