2.4 sooo close

<< < (2/4) > >>

Numsgil:
Its way more basic than labels.  Basically mutations view the DNA as a long series with absolutely no correllation between elements.  Although this isn't true, it makes the mutations more realistic, and with what I've laerned playing around with them, more useful.

PurpleYouko:
You mean it won't add blocks of numbers in pre-formed condition or command groups. (like "*.nrg 6000 >" or "56 .aimsx store")

That is soooo gonna piss of Bots  :laugh:

Numsgil:
Sure won't.  In fact, if it adds a long string of commands in, it'll be more likely to be something like:

*885 start or >

He he.  Most mutations should be kept low in their effect, so you only distrupt things 1 bp at a time.  That's my theory anyway.

PurpleYouko:
I agree with you. There should be no rhyme nor reason to mutations so long as the DB Operating system can handle them and not crash because of a missing "start" or something.
Looks like your changes are making it much more robust all the time so it should be great.

Numsgil:
The few simulations I've run over night are encouraging.  Veggies are definately evolving -1 shots from time to time, because they keep finding ways to crash the program with them.

The best thing is the point mutations that can mutate a bot during any cycle.  If you set it impossibly high, it's a great way to check out possible crashes in the DNA robustness.

DNA, btw, can handle anything now.  You simply can't create a file of anything that, assuming it's read into the program successfully (that is, there's no file buffer overloads or something like that) would crash it.

In fact, I bet you could load in some science article you've been writing, or some .gif file, and the program wouldn't crash.  Not that the bot would be doing anything but 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0... of course.
