Title: Skin suggestion.
Post by: Testlund on September 17, 2013, 08:23:46 AM

The way skins are chosen now based on dna is cool, but at the same time I miss being able to make my own. What about having both?

Maybe having a dialog where you just type in number of lines, 1 to 3, and their angles.

Well, the whole point of having skins generate based on DNA and file name was to uniquely ID the robots that are running in any Simulation. Like, someone creates a youtube vid. of some robots, and you should be able to say "Ah, I know that robot, it's skin looks familiar." If I make the skin customizable, or, completely random, it total defeats the purpose of the idea.

Oh, I see. I didn't know that was the reason for it.
