how about some demo settings?

I'll post a default settings later today soy uo can run the program with it all working.

And remember bots aren't necessarily cells. They could also be land animals. Or fish. It's all in what you want to make them

I have a real hard time thinking about them as any kind of organic life at all.

To me they are nano-bots, wholly mechanical but with a very rudimentary AI.

DBs are whatever you want them to be. :D

Yeah, you have the power as programmers to make it anything you want. If you want to create little pink elephants running around sucking veggies with there trunks, you can do it.  :P

It's all a matter of taste, really. Personally I think it whould be best if you try to make a program that works according to nature, to understand how life evolves from 1-cellular organisms. That's what I find very interesting.  ^_^

DB is probably the most organic simulator out there.  Have you looked at Avida, Tierra, etc.?

[Testlund]

I can't remember I've seen those programs.

I get the feeling too that this program is the most organic simulator. That's why I got interested in it. I have done a lot of searching to find the ultimate A-life program. Most are too simple.

Sweeet!  :D

Pink Elephant mode!
