Hi everyone I'm new to the forum but not to the program! It's like 2 months I've been in darwinbots, and finally I'm starting understanding something . Sorry for my english but I'm italian; I wanted to say my praises to the darwinbot's programmers: you did a great job! The program offers unlimited possibilities! I've seen that the forum is almost dead, so I said "better to register", because a so great program can't be forgot.
Now I wanted to talk you about an evolution: I had some swarm bots (last version) and I put them with other species in a tank with alga runaways and minimalis as food, ad w\o corpses nor waste. It had normal costs, only a 0.01 more cumulative cost for the age and 3 for the shoot (to avoid ever-shooters) and 32x mutations (lol). Of course, only the swarms survived, and the runaways. But great was my wonder when I saw an alga developing a shooting tecnique (first enc). After a little, all the algae was so, and later like the second enc. So the swarm evolved: it started forming ties!!! And of course it survived, but the ties seems to do nothing. It's strange. Try to help me, like I said I'm a newbie. Sadly, after a pair of hours, the algae evolved in a too-fast rotating specie, and the echosistem died . Please take a look at my swarm tie!
