I am about to make some changes and run this experiment again. My 3 month version is currently stuck. That is why I am making major changes and trying stuff. Funny how more coherent mutations and more intuitive evolution logic seems to produce results more slowly. The one posted here simply maxed out the oscillation reduction before I had enough of it. Just look at the log:

Interesting I might test it out.
You know what'd be really useful.
A "Code De-Jargon-ifier".
I mean, the code that is evolved is probably more efficient, computing-capacity-wise, and probably less fragile, but It should be possible for a program to re-organise code to make it 'more' readable.
OFFTOPIC: In a PM or something do you think you could teach me this code that breaks the "Cond [conditions] Start [actions] Stop" DNA setup? (I believe It was referred to as inline conditioning?)
Then I might actually be able to understand fruitflies.

Speaking of fruitfly, I am actually spending a core to evolve it

in survival evo. Just for a kick because I think I fixed what was wrong with my algorithm.

Hey bot, think you might be able to write me up some code for like, just moving in an indefinitely long seasnake?
I don't need any handling of food or stuff, just an as simple to read bit of code for at the birth event, adding to the snake, and then moving along like that.

This is rather weird.

edit:

The only difference between this and my 3 month version is I do not fittest or handycap for body. Plus the fix for CopyError and CopyError2 that was minor.

I decided to get rid of body because of big birthas and robots like fruitfly benefit from having as little body as possible.

Tiny changes make big impacts. E.G. Charity, or Trigonometry, or Politics/Law.

Also, When you say you decided to get rid of body....do you mean you've removed body from DB (because it was quite a fun thing to utilize).
Next we might as well remove viruses because some robots benefit from having viruses to shoot at other bots

No, body is still there. I am just experimenting with not having body in fitness calc. so population is favored more.
I actually do not mind viruses because after talking to a med student and some proofs of concept we figured out that viruses could be beneficial to evolution. They are like a cheap way to do sexrepro. But if you hate them that much you can always run F2 settings. A note that you can not tie feed in F2 though.

Surely in fitness calc factoring in body is beneficial, (same for league victory determination), as you could have so to speak a "tank", or really fat, strong bot, which would lose against 10 smaller weaker cancerous bots in the calculations.

[Bump]

I need a couple more days to figure it out. Maybe you are right Spike.

edit: A note that leagues are strictly based on population. And that is really the main idea behind this change. Can you show me any 'Tanks' on top of the leader board? :sarcastic:

Small robots working together are always stronger than large robots working alone. When you finally figure out fruitfly code you will understand what I mean.

Theoretically speaking, if a tank was made strong enough. It could be 'better'. It would still lose though, but its more to do with the bias probably effecting bots ranking in the middle of the leaderboard (say 6th, or 10th place).
It could also mean that a slightly less small bot than fruitflies, might possibly top fruitflies (and it generally adds a new element of mystery to the results, I think everyone knows that fruitflies will always win unless some of the mechanics change).

I ended up reverting the fittest code as you suggested. It really has little impact on how much the robots seem to lose in survival mode and if anything fittest can be configured to only favor population so that solves that little problem. However, I am still keeping my fitness function based on energy for now. I might reverting it as well as a last resort. Lets see what happens and sorry for the long wait between version drops if I had more computing power it would go allot faster.

Ok. Np.
OFFTOPIC: I'm not sure if I mentioned this in a post, but I was thinking, we could try moving to a new, shinier forum (there has to be some fancier one out there now), and then It'll be lovely and clean for any newcomers. This forum could then be a sort of archive.

As expected it is working a bit worse even with the effect of body reduced by 3/10. I am not taking body out completely but I might end up reducing it to 1/10. I can also try the other way and revert both the fittest and the survival fitness to normal body.

What about factoring in kills per bot.
So the fittest function records the kills each bot has, till it dies, which that becomes a fixed figure, the average tells you how successful a species is, for individual bots look at their individual kills?

Damn, just tried a zerobot run with my better? mutation algorithms robots are just sitting there without doing anything for a long time. I am seriously considering reverting most of my changes and just keeping the bug fixes.
