Yeah it's realistic! Plants gain nrg based on their surface area. In DB surface area is related to body.
And if you don't like it, you can just go back to the nrg/veg/cycle. That's an option too.
Lets say you have a robot with 32000 energy , and another one with 10 energy. The one with 10 energy ends up being a cell to another cell. We just did celluler strinking ^ 2. Zooming on that is just too impractical even if the zoom was to infinity (btw zoom is kinda week right now due to the limit witch needs to be adjusted too).
A real cell has tissues it has to sustain independent of its energy. A real cell can build up in pressure as well. So I prepose instead we use somthing like size = N + ScurveEquation were N is the tissue every cell has and ScurveEquation instead of liner is a pressure effect.
And here's why the above makes no sense to me:
"cell to anotehr cell"? What do you mean? Do you mean that the cell reproduces? Becomes part of a multibot?
"cellular strinking ^ 2"? What is strinking? Why are we squaring it?
"zooming in..." are we talking about the apparent size of the vegs or the nrg they're getting? Because the two aren't related, and I thought we were talking about the latter.
"A real cell has tissues..." first statement you've said yet that I understand and agree with. Which is why the 2.4 I'm releaseing later today will have a "cost per body" you can set.
"A real cell can build up pressure..." No, they can't. Well, not really. They do have a kind of osmotic pressure they have to contend with, but this is quite different from "pressure" in the normal sense of the word. In the normal sense of the word, we think of compression... Anyway, let's assume you mean osmotic pressure.
"size = N + ScurveEquation were N is the tissue every cell has and ScurveEquation instead of liner is a pressure effect."
1. I don't think you understand why bots have the radius they do. A bots radius works like this:
4/3 * pi * radius ^ 3 = volume of stuff contained in cell.
The volume of a single body point is defined to be 905 cubic twips. This was chosen because this way bots with 1000 body are the same size they were before.
2. "size" is ambigous! Do you mean: volume, radius, or diameter? Or maybe surface area?
3. "ScurveEquation instead of liner is a pressure effect." - instead of liner? What liner? What is a liner? Do you mean linear?
4. I don't understand what the code you quoted me is supposed to demonstrate. In fact, at this point, I'm not even sure what we're talking about anymore. I thought at first you were having issue with the nrg per body thing, then I thought maybe you were talking about the apparent size of a bot when you zoom in. Now I have no idea.
