Now I know that epic ideas do indeed fail

[Botsareus]

I just do not understand why society always finds a way to shut epic ideas down. Is it because a good idea must have a troll element in it like the Apollo Moon Landing, or is it simply because I am a Russian Immigrant and everyone hates Russia these days?

My code works perfectly fine on my computer, but just to piss myself off even more I am going to go test vrukts bot and post a video of it working or prove that the bot is a dud.

Here go my dreams of ever getting recognized in an academic setting. Shameless edit: Alright maybe I still can make it. If you never succeeded at anything you subconsciously try to fail apparently.

[MysticalDumpling]

There is a good reason why people hate russia, though. Where are you now?

[vrukt]

I don't hate you Russians! I spend a lot of time learning about your native land, and all the fun things in it. So I'd say I hate more the same things you Russians hate, restrictive, confining, systems.

That said, if you are playing with my bot, you may quickly come to believe I do hate Russians.

Here's what I started evolving to get that bot.

Code: [Select]

Bot colour is set by the user or changes slowly through evolution.

Tie colours:

White is information transfer.

Yellow is any type of sharing - sharing nrg, waste, shell or slime.

Red is basically nrg, body tie feeding, venom and poison. (sometimes waste sharing)

Different colour circles inside the bot

Yellow circle inside bot = Slime
Red circle inside bot = Shell

Different coloured lines on edge of bot

White line proportional to energy
Purple line proportional to body
Green line proportional to poison
Blue line proportional to venom

Red line projected out of bot circle shows direction and magnitude that the bot is trying to move

Blobs on side of bots appear when they have been hit by a shot
Purple = -6 (body shot)
Red = -1 (nrg shot)
white = -2 (food shot)
Dark blue = (venom shot)
Yellow = (poison shot)

Shot colour
White = normal shots
Light blue = viruses

So don't get carried away, that bot is essentially a runaway help file.

[Botsareus]

What happened to the new chloroplast system variables that Panda added?

[Botsareus]

Oh, never mind. edit: One less thing on to do list.

Actually, I have nothing against systems as long as they serve there purpose. What I do hate is not knowing what the purpose of specific systems are. Also, this is an adapted point of view.

[Botsareus]

Ok, one more short term and long term goal left.

Short term:

Get SVN working

Long term:

Evolve a workable zerobot, evolve a robot that does well on F1 league from zerobot (really hoping for first place here). And fix all remaining bugs in this process.

Optional long term:

Play with IM.

[Botsareus]

Update:

Just a few long term goals left. Awesome. 

[Botsareus]

I got faith again!

[vrukt]

Good stuff Botsareus! In the years I've been watching Darwinbots, the goals seem to be getting chipped away at steadily over time.

Keep up the good work!

[Botsareus]

Well, I have to thank Peter for that last big one, I never was able to figure out IM without him.
