Maybe so but it never was until very recently.

That was a bit sneaky Num. I kind of like it though.  :P
Maybe it is listed in the readme file but I hadn't noticed it.
I'm not very good about documenting all the feaetures I change, especially the ones that take like 20 minutes.

Consider it an incentive to keep experimenting with the program lol.

Yep currently the stack gets transfeared per cycle so I dont have to waste memory locations.

Then I probably changed it for the next version.

I know the feeling. It is so hard to keep up with all those tiny little mods that you really don't think twice about. I normally only record the major changes.
It actually could be in the readme for all I know. I don't often check it.

Num , please change it one more time. Keep the old way as defult. I mean I wrote a bot to show the advantage of it. You can make it as option if you like.

No.  The stack should and must not be used to carry values between cycles.  Aside from the obvious reverse engineering headaches, and the obvious infringement on the purpose of having memory array at all, and the obvious glee that the bot has avoiding the cost of a store command, it is the first step in introducing the chromosome system I suggested in another thread and that was more or less agreed on.

Am I the only one who finds these two statements conflicting?

Yes, it is.

I said I stopped the stack from going between cycles.  You said to change it back to the way it was, adding the stack between cycles as an option.  I said to hell with you.

lol.

I get impatient with having to repeat myself.  I suppose it's a character failing.
