I am kinda stuck on this one for now , lets see if any of you can figure it out:
[you]The Nuke Problem[/you]
Robot A evolves into Robot B that nukes the screen , all die.
The solution must include the following things:
Some kind of robot must stay alive.
The solution can not ristrict robots from using a "nuke".
The larger screen size or use of clone separate screen breathing is not an option.
What really happend:
My happy little robots are happy running arround the screen population in the 80s.
Suddenly one robot evolves a "tie to everything possible" command in one step. This robot ties up and kills all robots it sees , ristricting there movment , leaching and even feeding on them if it gets lucky, it is able to repoduce. It is able to repoduce?!- not quite , thats were the trouble starts, If it gets lucky it will reproduce witch includes a) A son escaping its fathers evil ties B) A son forming ties to plants and sutch effectivaly enough to actualy manage to aim its shoot at them (the robot has no control over this, its done more or less at random). Then the parant may also lose its exsisting ties and end up starving himself. So evantualy this killers don't get lucky and they all die off from starvation. Beat that...
P.S.
sry, not offering cash on this one. Although might prove useful in evolving robots from scratch.
