I will evolve it one way or another

B. How come the first time I checked a week ago , the robots seemed to be better, not worse?

Evolution is a random process. Very likely, you're producing worse bots instead of better bots because either:
1. Your mutation rates are too high.
2. Your definition of "better" isn't the same definition that's driving the evolution of the bots.
Since it's a random process, the same settings can give you entirely different results, especially if #2 is true.
Botsareus:
I have a feeling its my own bug fixes but I cant figure out why. And I am not sure.
Botsareus:
Now I understand what was going on: I thought that all the "remove error checking" was causing the program to crash with a fatal error instead of giving a visual basic debug frandly error. So I unchecked them before I started using the source code. It turns out this "advanced optimization checks" simple did "On Error Resume Next" in all the places a possible error of type specified can accrue. This means several things.
A. I was portialy correct that it can crash the program , "On error resume next" is quite unpordictable.
B. All the bugs that I reported are never supposed to happen if this check are turned on.
It also brings up an interseting qustion:
What am I supposed to do if visual basic crashes on me when I debug the program? I gess all I can do is post the robots that might of caused this error.
Botsareus:
The Hell with it , thouse errors / bugs I was talking about happen anyway but gess what I dont care anymore, why? simple
Bc I just realised that my new evolution method does not produce better bots.
I tryed everything I can think of already....
My computer is to slow to run simulations the way shvartz runs them, wth am I supposed to do?
Its not fear. Its - not - fear!
Botsareus:
I mean people tell me never to give up , but this is really pushing it.
