You guys are wimpy evolvionists (that's not a word, but what the hell!)!
180,000 cycles later I had this:
cond *.nrg 20000 > start 50 300 stop
cond start store stop
cond start -1 .shoot store 10 .up store stop
cond start -1 7 stop
cond start store 10 .up store stop
end
As you can see the first gene has been split in two and the second gene was duplicated. This gives me hope - I think I can evolve this baby!
And right now I am at 420,000 cycles and here is the most populous bot:
cond *.nrg 20000 > start 50 300 stop
cond start store stop
cond *.shareshell *180 !%= start 1168 -1 .shoot store 10 .up store 10 .up store stop
cond start -1 7 stop
cond start -1 7 stop
cond start store 10 dec 1 sub stop
end
This piece of code is already beyond me - I have no idea what genes 3-7 do together. By the way - bots learned to turn! They don't turn for any specific reason, but they do run in circles now! Yay!
