Degrade DNA over time (in some means) at a slightly randomized rate.

That is a good point Spike. I never actually figured out what the ideal ratio of used and unused memory/sysvars is. In DB2 we just piled up more sysvars and hope it still worked. But tbh even with the ratio slowly shrinking over time the robots seem to evolve quite well.
eq1: (x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2 <= distance^2
For positions (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). It's basically just checking if x2 is within the circle of radius distance centered at x1.
eq2: (x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2 + (z1 - z2)^2 <= distance^2
For positions (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2). Same deal, but now it's a sphere.
This extends in to higher dimensions. You just keep adding in squared terms.
Not a bad idea. However the funky way binary files work: You can store a double and read it back as three bytes. So the issues (I think) are not there because the sizes are automatically allocated.Ahh k.
The problem is Peter was paying to host a server because he did not have time or the resources to sandbox and run his own server. And when I had a particularly nasty one of my nervous breakdowns no one other than Billy had interest in IM so Peter shut it down. I think I have the current server side in a download somewhere, we just need to find someone to host it.
Spike can you tell Billy to host the server side of PeterIM? I kind of miss internet mode...Billy? (Is billy just a new pseudonym for peter?)
Also reviewing the code: there is a stalker spike at the end of the code to make sure the first spike takes effect. However, the logic seems to be resilient to it, so it has no effect other than increasing the pleasure sysvar."pleasure sysvar"
To reduce some confusion: Spike is talking about the current tournament league that I am planning to faze out. Also 7 robots down sounds better than 10 and should still do the job.Oh wow, thats actually the current tournament setup? (I've never had the need to locally run a tournament. I just hound the beastiary with bots).
