Title: Customisable best bot function
Post by: Shasta on April 30, 2008, 09:21:40 AM

By this I mean something like the program parsing a text file that we create using some key words (mostKills, mostOffspring, mostNrg... ect), operators, numbers, and if you want it run through veggies or not. Then defining if we want the lowest or highest result when run for the bots.

Because of the fact that the best bot in the sim is a pretty subjective thing, most offspring doesn't always work. With this people can define what they think of as the best bot for their current sim.

This runs in to talk we had a few years ago about scripting.  The issue here is what sort of scripting capabilities do we have, and what language do we use?  Do we use the DNA language the program already understands, or something more conventional like Ruby or Perl or Python or something like that.
