Title: Shapes and bots
Post by: shvarz on August 23, 2006, 07:01:33 PM

Since everyone is so quiet, I fugred I'll share my first cool result from playing around with shapes in the new version.  Look at the picture.  In the top right corner you'll see a bunch of bots forming roughly a square.  These are offsprings from a bot that realized that by turning a bit every turn you avoid getting stuck in corners.  All those bots are moving in a counterclockwise circle.  Pretty cool!  

On a sad note, I keep getting overflow crashes.  Often in less than 1 hr time.  I had one long run of 7.5 hours, but on average it crashes Every couple of hours.

Shapes certainly help change the rather uniform blue field into something more interesting for evolution to play with.  Nice work Eric

V. nice, it is really cool to see positive mutations in an evo sim!
