Tornado Swarm Bots
« on: October 19, 2014, 07:08:58 PM »
Is it possible to make a bot that feeds by moving in a synchronized rotating swarm with the other members of it's species? Kind of like a tornado? I'd imagine it would be somewhat like the Leechbot but instead of tie-feeding it uses shots and it attempts to align itself with the rest of the swarm.

That would be kind of cool. If anyone can figure it out.

Spork, what are you up to right now as far as IM?

I haven't really been connecting to IM mode for fear of locusts invading my sim, sadly.

(sorry, off topic, friendly promo going on)

Well run my special mode then, it should be self balancing and self optimizing. You should always see something cool happening. (The only other person who ran it properly for a while was vrukt but that person is mia as well. It feels like everyone here gone mia)

Is it possible to know who else is online? Or does the graph from status of IM mode show it?

off topic:

Yes, it should list all active users. Some users may crank there graph update interval up to try to remain unanimous. In such cases just go the help menu and click on view tag information.

So with the tag info, you can figure out where the bot came from?

Ok, I've got internet mode running. I've sent some bots through the teleporter, and a couple had a devious explosion virus. Then again, I have no clue as to if i'm doing this right.

Alright, I look out if your graph info pings Peters server.

So, I have to set up a graph in order for my bots to get into your sims?

I have no sims running at the moment. But you should get a swarm of my robots from the time I had sims running.
You actually should just leave it alone once you got it up and running.
I will run some more sims Tuesday btw.

Honestly it's slightly baffled me...and when I work it out I will send AD (Aggressive dwarfs) and probably later on I'll send Teriyaki, then later later on I'll send All-Eyes
