Will there be an option for disabling these new features?

What I mean is using DB to simulate a cellular automata, not the other way around...
And the CA would only be for physics simulations.

Yes I meant a call tree, so I guess it doesn't exist. Would you be so kind as to create a detailed UML diagram of DB3 as you make it? That would be soo helpful.

BTW, what do you mean by "it isn't object oriented"? I thought VB is an object oriented language...

Ok, so, is there any way for DB to not use "cycles"?  It seems much more natural...

Is it possible to use a cellular automata as a basis for DB physics? See here and here .

Digital physics seems to bear a close resemblance to cellular automata, and as such should be easy to use the hashlife algorithm on...

I have always wanted to find a way to combine DB with cellular automata...

Where can I find a UML diagram of the DB2 algorithm?

Specialization will be more of the Lamarckian variety.  Ie: inheritable improvement through exercise.  Not quite biologically sound, but I think it'll make for the behavior we want.

Wait a sec, didn't someone else and I post a response to this? Was it deleted? Well, anyway, it just said I don't think that's a good idea.

What did botsareus do in hi/er/s? How did the non-deterministic one work?

Newbie / DB reworks

OK, on the wiki it mentions several "reworks" of DB by different people. The ones I found were:


Botsareus's_Vision: An alternate Version of 2.37.4 tweaked by Botsareus

Non-deterministic: An Alternative version of 2.36 by Carlos designed to allow inter-gene competition

DarwinBots2.37.7b is a reworking by Endy.
Fixed a bug involving limitless waste creation caused by storing negative values into .strvenom and .strpoison
Modified code to allow slime/shell/venom/poison to be unmade for an energy gain
Negative stores/inc/dec are now absoluted
Stores/inc/dec to values greater than 999 are now modified to be within 1-999 range; ie. 31330 would be stored to as 33

I just copied-and-pasted all info I found on the wiki regarding these mods. Would someone like to explain what, exactly, are the differences between these versions and the mainstream ones? Why aren't they in the main code line? What were the shortcomings/advantages of these? Will any of these features, such as those in the "non-deterministic" mod, be incorporated into DB#? Thanks!

I am with Nums.  I feel so much better when I read nice and clean language.  Not to say that I never get lazy and use web-speak, but I have a lot of respect for good grammar and punctuation.  It's similar to clothing: I much more prefer to look at people who dress neatly and with taste, I can tolerate jeans and t-shirts (cause I know it's practical), but I hate to see people dressed like they've been spleepeing on the street for a month.

I am also with Nums

Yeah, something like that. You shoot a lot and you get better at shooting, etc.
Sounds very wrong. If you want your bot to learn, program a feedback loop.

I am entirely with ikke on this. At least provide an option to turn lamarckian selection off.

So, basically, is it working now? The bug's gone?

Oh and what features does this have that differentiate it from other SSbots?

On the note of getting my old PCs to work...

One of them doesn't have any graphics capability, the other one has integrated graphics. Is it possible to use the IGP of one computer to provide graphics capability for another?
