Viruses

<< < (6/9) > >>

Botsareus:
Anyone else got stuff to say because I can take that as sarcasm...

(I can't check them out myself yet because people say some of them don't work)

Numsgil:
Greven's comment wasn't anything but an plee that the evo sim part of the program be left the primary concern.  It was not a criticism in any way of the evo parts of the program past or present.

shvarz:
I don't think viruses should be weapons.  Why should they?  Makes no sense to me.

I can see only three needs for viruses:

1. To simulate virus vs host evolution
2. To allow horizontal gene transfer
3. To introduce more meaningful junk DNA

Greven:
Num is right Bots, you need to read the post's more closely, or were I unspecific, maybe a hard to read post? Please comment, and I will try to make it better.

About Shvarz... I agree... Evolution or whatever just dont say to a cell or bot: here now you have a very usefull weapon (virus), you were lucky, because your fitness will now increase very much.

I can understand, that coding is intersting, I my self study Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen, which is the orgin of the Mac system, if anyone knows that, love to code my self.

But my main goal/concern/ideas/interest/whatever has always been AL!!!! I read a book about 6 years ago about matematics, and a small paragraphh were dedicated to AL, or some very strange sort, but I did get the idea. Then I search the net about this, getting Tierra, which were amazing, at that time, with everything in it, then I began to program (on and off) some very simple AL sims (now I not even know if I could call them AL), but in short, pure AL is my thing, to prove that creationist are wrong!!!!!!!!!!

MrMound:
I was thinking about viruses and what they do is envade a cell and use it to reproduce themselves so why not make a comand that allows your bot able to go into a bot and take it over and use it to reproduce.  a rule we could use with this is that viruses cant have a reproducing gene and so that they will have to take over bots to survive.
