Suggestions / Some DNA-Related Feature Requests
« on: September 21, 2007, 03:31:18 PM »
Some dna-related sysvars. Would make evolution rather interesting and provide some routes for horizontal gene transfer, as well as giving bot programers a new array of tools to play with.
.sendgene (instantly sends a gene through a tie, like a virus)
.crossover (crosses over the DNA of two tied bots at a certain number of random points)
.mutgene (makes one random point mutation to a gene)
.mutate (mutates the entire genome by a certain amount)
.refdnalen (returns the dna length of the bot I am looking at; possible new form of conspec recognition allowing for speciation of bots with mutations that change the genome length)
Anyone have any objections to having any of these?
