More accurate model of Radiation

Botsareus:
Nice , wait for 30000 rounds on your free time, I love it. Poor Nums.

I was thinking making my "ran out of time" as a 3rd player and scoring him like a player. If "ran out of time" wins then the old bot is kept and the contest is restarted with a new "virsion" of the old bot.

Anyway got to run play some rift before the night and the test. Happy Bday again, see you later.

Numsgil:
Problem with any sort of time limit is that some bots really take that long to win.  Ymir, when I was first working on it, was absolutely horrible this way.  I think it was Destinatus Praelitor or whatever that it would play "1 man vs. the world" with for 5 or 6 hours at a time.

Of course, Ymir would come from nowhere and wipe the floor with Desty.  But those were some long 5 or 6 hours.

Endy:
I'm honestly not sure it is possible to evolve something to win at F1. The issue is that the bot is having to compete with nearly identical coppies for food. The problem can actually be compounded with bots being nice to each other. The group actions eventually lead to overcrowding conditions, allowing wasteful(for F1 contests) canni's to take the lead, by ensuring a large food supply available when the bot does become cannibotisitic.

The best I could recomend is taking a look at existing champions and attempting to build a bot to beat them. A sort of technological evolution rather than sim-biological. If your contender doesn't do too good, you take a look at where it is lacking and improve it. If the enemy has a special attack/counter attack you figure out a blocking method to counter it.

Evolution is however good for discovering the natural cheap actions the bots utilize. When a particular bot began gaining in numbers, I was able to track it down to increasing .shootval. Now I can take the knowledge and re-apply it in a more controlled fashion in contests.

Zelos:
PY a organism is able to be more resistence to radiation (mutations). there is a archea that is able to live in a nuclear reactor while a few second there would almos mean certain death for a human.

Numsgil:
I seem to remember reading about that too.  But you have to wonder what kind of radiation it's being exposed to.  If it really is neutron decay or whatever, then it must have some incredible DNA repairing mechanisms.
