Hey Jetto Welcome aboard. :laugh:
-
Here's hoping we have many more monosyllabic topics from you.
-
Don't go getting on his case Num. :D
He came in by invitation. I've been talking to him on another board for most of the day.
-
I think we may have a first here.
The thread title was longer than the post. :rolleyes:
-
I was being only half facetious. I do indeed hope he becomes active, because I'd love to see the community grow. Just wish they were a bit longer...
-
Yeah I know you were only messing. Same as I was.
Jetto is into MMORPG programming and is trying to set up his own board under Invision. He just dropped in here to check us out. Hopefully he might hang around and get hooked on DarwinBots too.
-
MMORPG programmer in practice or theory? MMOs are some of the hardest, longest programming around. Someone who has something mildly intersting to show for their efforts gets two thumbs up from me.
-
Hey [jetto]! Sweet, I've always wanted to get into game programming, MMORPG is the ultimate! Hope you stick around.
-
umm..Im new here and was wondering..what exactly is a darwin bot? IM gonna look it up around here
-
o btw..ive worked on some little projects that are only Browser based online multiplayer games..But the guy I worked with was a complete idiot
-
I'm still impressed.
To get a fast overview of darwinbots, either check the home page at www.darwinbots.com, try the old webstie (google Darwinbots, it's the first link) or try wikipedia, where I've recently written an article.

Well the whole Beauty of this program, is it does not simply model changes in shape or selects a new different predifined behavior. It models generating new totaly different behaviors as complex as any computer program can get. The little robot totaly program every aspect of themselfs. Were else can you find a computer program doing a role of a computer programmer?
All using the good old Darwins theory of evolution.
-
yea I was reading the wilkepedia and its a life simulater bot??
I dont get it??
-
You are familiar with artificial life?
If not, read the wiki article on that.
If yes, then Darwinbots is a particular instance of Artificial Life.
-
wow I read it a bit of it..then skipped down some paragraphs and read the cool parts.
Some pretty nifty stuff im gonna have to read more..but it seems like the wilkepedia likes to make things long
-
They sure do. I think most of the hisory section is pointless for the ALife article. But that's just me.
-
A "bot" is a computer program that simulates real life. Now you can consider Darwin Bots as its own operating system witch supports these little programs called bots within itself.
Now the real science is going on in the "Bots and Simulations" tab, "Evolution and Internet Sharing Sims" thats were we abserve and evaluate what the program codes for us.
Also "Leagues" in the "general" tab can be interesting, that’s were human programmers compete for building a better “bot”. But, computer created bots are also allowed -so I am trying to get my computer to evolve one that can beat the competition.
Jetto I suggest you download the most resent (stable) virsion of the program. And go through PY's tutorial on building and evolving bots.

:clap: That was real English! (with only negligable mispells)
-
Go Bots! :laugh:
That had to be the best post you ever made. :boing:
Very informative and actually spelled right too. Sweeeeeet! :clap:
-
Is there some sort of coherency award we can give him?
-
Dunno. Maybe I should go and find a new emoticon to comemorate the occasion :D
-
lol yea
