Title: Its real quiet...
Post by: spike43884 on June 06, 2015, 12:16:20 PM
Like, real quiet. I think its only me, botsareus and occasionally numsigl now on.
Have you guys got any idea's of how we might be able to get some members...
We could mention the program on: http://www.scienceforums.net/
Im sure some of the amateur biologists there would be interested, and maybe a few more of the more intellectual ones might be interested, maybe some of the computer scientists to.

yea there might be someone that might want in somewhere. it would be nice to have a little bit more active members though.

i personally just don't have anything to input usually but i get on everyday to see what's going on.

Same here really, daily I check for new posts, but I haven't seen any new posts, to give me ideas.
I would have already posted a link to DB2 on the science forums but my email has broke, im seeing to getting it fixed at some point, but it requires email verification (annoyingly).
Anyway, im sure some people on the science forums would probably be interested, I mean, I still stick by my opinion that "DB2 is the best opensource free life simulator out there".

Also shadow, did you get round to running a league?

You can always as botsareus for directions I guess.

Its a shame nobody wrote an auto-league runner.
Then you could just start the program up, and leave it...then it'd save the results in a .txt file at the end.

Bots has made such but only gives a top like 10 or something like that. i want a complete listing and i need all the bots before i do as well as i would like a version that all the sysvars work like there suppose to. also i have bad experiences with the auto relaunching and such which is why i don't use it. it always acts like there was a crash then doesn't start the sim it's supposed to.

Yea, there are some messed up sysvars. I am going to have to rerun the entire league myself when they are fixed.

Make sure you have restarter.exe for the autorelunch in the same folder as Darwin.exe. should work... If it does not, I can not really fix it from here. :(

One thing I can do from here is move the bots from the starting gate. At least it will give me something to do.

I am only rerunning the F2 league from scratch and updating the rest.

Have you yet learn't to program bots from scratch spork?
Title: Re: Its real quiet...
Post by: spork22 on July 22, 2015, 10:34:07 AM
I'm beginning to. I've done a lot of reading on the wiki and stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to do it.

I'm actually going to try to work on the ring bot you mentioned here. http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php/topic,6756.msg1392414.html#msg1392414

I mostly want to work on the part where the bots realize the inner layer is finished and the outer layer or the guard layer must be created.

But first, before I try anything too complicated i should probably just do something like Animal Minimalis.

I've responded to your cheddarmold with the code of one of my bots.
With you idea of making bots work on the inner layer then the outer layer. You need to use numties...and some form of in/out...setting it to the lowest amount of numties. Tell the bot then to not create a 3rd tie until in/out that is set to lowest numties is 2. Then create a third tie, tell this 3rd tie that its the outer layer.

You also need to make sure they use whatever the command is to check a memory location through eyes to make sure they don't tie to a bot with 2 ties already. If you set the *.tielen and *.tieang to something you can control the size and make a perfect circle, if you use 100 .stifftie store while the inner ring is forming, then when inner ring is formed 25 .stifftie store you should form the inner ring correctly.
