A new problem for discussion

Botsareus:
First of all sorry for the "andestor" , I meant "ancestor" I was day dreaming or somthing...


An evo tree will be usefull but not for backtracking robots, my "good" chart shows clearly enough that: most of the generations the robots are worse then the the few generations when they are on top (based on what your goal is). So, If you need to go back you have to go back to the lest robot on top making a detailed tree kind of uselss. Only save the robots on top (witch I am already doing , I got 6 generations already).

The tree idea is however usefull in my opinion if you want to try somthing like what I do for smexe. Infact the tree can be saved in the file structure the way it does for smexe. If you read the "plasmic007.tripod.com" > "smexe here" > "read this" , it explains how there is an effective breathing method witch usefull when a.) simulations are cut short  b.) the ai are always self distructing.

Old Henk:
I don't think we should work around this problem. It is one of the possible outcomes of (micro)evolution: Death. I don't agree with creating an artificial way around this. (no offence meant though)

Numsgil:
There already is sort of a tree in the "show mutation details".  Especially in the newer versions (it may just be 2.4, I don't remember) it tells you when the mutation took place in time, what it did, etc.

So it's really easy to see if there's just one universal species or several different strains running around, and when they split.

Welwordion:
hmm you know  there are many lifeforms leaving eggs within the ground , which are built to survive long stasis period that then surface when times get better.
Maybe you could put in a set of genes that let some of your robots go into a stasis
randomly hiding between algae and then at some random time they end the stasis. :wacko:  .....Just a thought  :lol:

Numsgil:
But why would you be in stasis if you're surrounded by food?

The closest thing to stasis bots do is when they spin madly in place when they've exhausted their food supply.
