the first?
thanks a lot.
guess I have been wasting my time.

Now now, we were almost on the verge of being cordial.

This sounds great to me. I want to add that maybe there should be different settings for different versions. I found out that version 2.37.5 behave totally different from 2.4.9 with the same settings. I get a nice simulation with lots of bots and corpses in version 2.37.5 and it also runs fast. In version 2.4.9 with the same settings they all die out. How do you explain that? Maybe you have changed so the values in the settings have a different meaning in version 2.4.9 compared to 2.37.5. Anyway, I whould prefere the most primitive bots to start with, not some bots that are well developed or where someone might have messed with the DNA to make them better. That's cheating.

No that's Inteligent design ;)
Seriously though, it has always seemed that with the tiniest most innocent seeming changes to the DB operating system, result in vast differences to which species seems best adapted at survival within it.
A while back, -6 shots got way too powerful so I weakened them a bit. This resulted in the top F1 and F2 bots losing about 15 ranks on the league tables while others got stronger.
It can be quite difficult to choose a primitive bot that isn't so primitive that it can't survive at all.

Well, Nums, I told you so!!!
Testlund: Version 2.4.9 is a completely different program than version 2.37.5. There are different physics, differnent DNA structure and tons of other changes. 2.4.9 is a test for an all-new extremely improved DB universe. I do not recommend downloading it, unless you want to help Nums to find bugs in there. It is just a stepping stone on the path from VB-based DB-II to C++-based DB-III. It should not be called 2.4.9, it should be called "DB-III, internal alpha release".
