Shots stuff

Yeah, this doesn't really have anythign to do with biological simulation. But the bots aren't necessarily any sort of known biological organism. They just sort of are what they are. Evo could evolve to use these sorts of things.

You'd have to make each shot combined as powerful as a single shot, but yeah, I could see uses for that. (Ymir used to constantly get surrounded by other bots, and have to pick them off one at a time.)

I don't think that's true; it's all based on what you want to do. If you want to make a super killer bot then cool, if you want to run an evo-sim then that's cool too.

From an evo view of shots I'd just like to see some new command to allow the bots to feed. The idea was that it'd be named something like .shotype and simply relay values into .shoot to avoid difficulties. I was thinking of something percentage based, where the number required to store into shoot could be more variable. Something like:
nrg = 100% and greater
body = 90-100
waste = 80-90
and so on.
I figure the bots would be more likely to mutatate useful versions with this than the current single/specific value requirements. Would probably need to start the bots off with the shots returning some small amount of body/nrg along with the rest of the type, but eventually the bots could learn to utilize the rest of what they're eating.
Shouldn't impinge on the more normally coded shots, so additional stuff would just be icing on the cake for evolution to play with. B)
Oh yeah, could the bots see the shot's aim as it's incomming? I think they'd be more capable of reacting with this.
Numsgil:
Yeah, I can see a good point for that.
Related, but a bit off topic: I was thinking body shots would later become a sort of "whatever I got" shot. Like basically taking a bite out of a homogenous cake. You'd get some nrg, some body, some poison, etc.
Endy:
That could work just as well. I just wanted something that the bots could have more luck at mutating. :) Although they do appear to get lucky on occasions and start using body shots intermitently. :D
