Well alga_minimalis is pretty pathetic really... I mean it'll just let itself get shot, what kind of plant would do that? Wait, don't awnser that... but anyways here we have two algae with the inteligence to actually do something... first ligamen lentesco meaning stringy and sticky... that's pretty much it, entangles other bots, if there's enough of them they may be able to kill a weaker bot like animal_minimalis though it's unlikely.

And then there's effervo sero or swarming plant, basically it makes this big moving ball like a shoal of small fish, it can throw enemies just through centrifrugal force... a large colony can tear seasnake apart, and will change direction frequently to confuse... many animals die in the middle of the swarm because they can't get their energy... very hard to thrive on this algae, oh and it only works in sims larger than 32000 in both directions. It's highly unrecomended but you can add this gene near the end to make it shoot, so far I've not found anything that can survive in an enviroment with the shooting variety. I'm not entirely sure how but on two seprate occasions the colony has split with no apparent cause, not even a mutation it's not coded anywhere to split either though I've tried to code it in a way so that it splits when there are 250 in any one colony though I got impatient and gave up, a viable batterybot animal using this as a base would be intresting though probably quite hard to code bearing in mind this throws out any attacking bot should it lack viligance.

Anyways I figured I might upload some images to go with them (false colour), I even resized them so as not to use much space on the server , so first two creatures... algaes... plants that I've made, knew I'd get there. They're pretty ineffcient because I figured afterall hey, they're plants, they don't need to be.

This gives me an idea. () What if you just make alga_minimalis tie to everything. It won't share nrg, just shoot ties at anything in range.

I'm gonna try the ball one, effero sero in a sim, it sounds interesting

yeah... I'm trying to make an alga that ties to everything, fixes it's position and then forces the other to increase .fixlen through .tieloc and .tieval essentially making it so they can't reach the algae but they're still attached and evntually forms a defensive circle of bots constantly fighting each other... also I've noticed another uncoded behaiviour in Effero Sero, when it migrates the colony will leave a string of smaller algae which hangers-on enemies will attach to peeling away from the main colony... It's strange, this algae seems to have a more complex behaviour than it appears... me bieng the guy who coded it I propably should understand it, reminds me of Conways game of life with the emergent behaiviour thing. Couldn't be botherd to recolour this screenshot by the way like the new avatar sammeh, looks way better than the radioactive sign, did you draw it yourself?

hehe, I'm not *that* good random find on the interwebs
Also, the algae completely confounds webfungus2.5 which doesn't even attempt to bind to it for some reason :S, but webfungus 2.1 pretty quickly takes over. interesting algae though, little curious as to why 2.5 can't feed off it...

FruitFlies can live off the alge with the shoot gene
But then again it has no slime or tie defences and fruitflies are too small to hit.
Here's a capped version that keeps the fruitfly population between 100 and 200. (You can change the first constant "maxpop" if you want more flies, if the sim is very large it may be an idea to increase it or they'll spread out too thin.)

Other than that the behavior for both alge is pretty cool to watch

Hmm... fruitflies and early webfungus beats it, bother maybhe I went wrong with the testing, I found the rebublican bee does okish as well in the same simulation as it. I reckon I might give making a multi-cellular algae a try.

Sorry, can not qualify for alga as it is a pre-chloroplast model.
