Title: Perfect Identification
Post by: Endy on February 24, 2005, 05:01:22 PM: Any thoughts of having a *.refdnalen and *.refgenes? Thought about this when working with vtimer and how it is unique for each bot. Would allow near perfect identification of another bot. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Endy ;)

p.s.
Is something off with the mem/tmemlocs/val? It almost seems like they are not being refreshed correctly or something.

Your system would break down during virus infections and mutations.

That way it acts to get rid of viruses or mutations, causing only the very best mutants to survive.

Post by: Numsgil on February 24, 2005, 07:24:04 PM: IMO it provides a little too intimate details on another bot.

(you're trying to use memloc and memval to find anothers genelen and genes, right?)

No outright objections on my part though. If everyone wants it its no problem to add.

Directly reading the DNA length of another robot is too invasive and a little unrealistic IMO

Memloc and memval are vicious enough in terms of being able to know the other bot.

We can already directly read every bit of coding, sans length.

We can see .up, .dn, .sh, .dh, (not sure on the latter 2's names anymore, been playing Noctis, ^.^;), .shoot, .shootval, .robage, .nrg, etc...

Post by: PurpleYouko on February 25, 2005, 11:53:13 AM: I just think we have enough refvars already. Besides Memloc and Memval can read any value from the robot you are looking at already.

A very underused feature IMO

if you want to know how many genes a robot has just use this couplet of genes in your own robot.

Code: [Select]
cond *.eye5 0 != start .genes .memloc store stop cond *.memval *.genes != start -1 .shootthehelloutofitcuzitisntmyspecies store stop
Could be a custom variable equal to .shoot :P just more fun this way.
