Untagged bots / Artemis Minimalis

Hi there,

 nice. I just started writing bots myself - you can try to beat my first creation if you want to (find the code attached to this post). I left it to its own devices for a while and it mutated into a worm or something, not really sure what happened, lol.

At the moment it wins every run against Artemis, but if you add a gene to search larger areas for food they should at least be evenly matched, I think.

Hi EricL,

 ok, here's what I'm trying to do: I use the epigenetic memory locations to store the energy level at which my bots reproduce. I use the rnd operator to 'mutate' this value every now and then and as one would expect the values slowly converge to a level most suitable for the current environment. Now obviously it's a pain in the ass to click on all the bots and manually copy all the values into a spreadsheet to get a decent statistic and a nice bell curve. I like bell curves.

I'll take a look at the load routine you mentioned - once I have time to take a stab at the source code that is. My vb kung fu is not exactly superior though, so any other way to log memory data would be appreciated. There's no way to store arbitrary data in the dna, is there?

There is very little that is considerred rude in this forum...

is that a challenge to test your limit of tolerance? :)

Hi there,

 I'm fairly new to DarwinBots and this is my first post in this forum. I hope it's not considered rude to start off with a question:

I want to use memory locations 971-990 to optimize some gene triggers as suggested in the wiki ('racial memory'). Problem is, I didnt find a good way to analyze memory data. It isn't included in the log (database) or in the capture data utility. Is there any way to dump memory data of the entire robot population?

regards
Harry
