Here is a problem I never expected to get.
On the fourth round of my test run with Carnatus Orbis vs. Carnatus Orbis (with 20 extra eyes), I got a rather incredible overflow error after about 4 hours of running.
Neither species could seem to get any kind of advantage so the contest just went on and on and on.... and on...............and on (yawn)
Eventually it reached 32768 rounds and overflowed the integer contest counter. The wins were still pretty damn near to exactly even for each version of CO.
One reason I picked CO is that the rounds are pretty short for a top ranked tie feeder yet he is still pretty simple using many of the genes directly from HDV4.
I am still not completely satisfied that I have debunked the free energy bug myth as I don't have enough data yet but it is a pretty strong indicator in that direction. I will publish the results once I have 20 full contests.
