PurpleYouko:
I would think that bioluminescence would be a feature of allowing bots to (temporarily) change their own color. Should be straight forward enough.

Zelos:
thats basacly what ive been saying, they change color temporary and can keep bioling fo aslongest they want, of course with a energy cost.

PurpleYouko:
And on the opposite side of the coin they would be able to hide against the background color of the screen (also at a cost)
The actual cost should be proportional to the amount of R, G and B that they want to change by and should be charged per cycle with the default (no changing) to revert to normal color for the species.

I also would like to see the visibility of a robot being proportional to the difference between its color and that of the background screen.

In addition to this we should have controls that can change the background color (with day/night cycles, polution levels from the e-grid etc.) so that programmers don't design their bots to be "invisible" from the getgo.

Or possibly only allow sight differences in certain types if sim like pondmode or for mutations to find the best color.

Zelos:
persinaly im not very happy with RGB idea, I rather have frequens or wavelenght. like the bots have a standard color and then can biol different and then we give a mathematical propotion of the cost

Numsgil:
RGB vs. wavelength/frequency is immaterial.  All visible colors can be made from RGB just as easily as with wavelength or frequency.

RGB has the benefit that that's how computers display color anyway.
