Simulation Emporium / Re: My first attempt on a zero sim

« on: February 07, 2014, 07:58:44 PM »

You might consider using randombots instead- so far, they seem to do things faster and "evolve" quicker.

Yes! Someone finally recognizes the superiority of Randombots!
I would use more random numbers; I use 10k, but it slows down the sim VERY quickly.

Bot Tavern / Re: Mutualism in bots?

« on: February 07, 2014, 07:09:22 PM »

I got a bot that could fill the description: Gland bot, a veggie, in the bestiary's starting gate. It works by fooling most conspecs, latching onto MB's to gain NRG, and gives defences to the MB based on NRG received. The MB doesn't know the Gland Bot is a different species, though. It would be interesting in an evosim, if anyone wants to try.

Mutations / Slimy_Veg Evolved! (evo)(MysticalDumpling)7-2-14

« on: February 07, 2014, 07:01:56 PM »

In a evosim with this veggie and a tie feeeder, Slimy_Veg evolved into this:

The anti-feeding venom turned into a rather clever anti-feeding gene- whenever it can read from a tie, it moves away hard enough to break the tie. The formation of this veg almost caused an extinction n the sim. This formed by hour 7, methinks.

This bot is a good reason to enable mutations on veggies!

This is a rather unorthodox multibot as it uses it's multi-bot-ness to spread it's babies.

Untagged bots / Slimy_Veg (Original)

« on: February 05, 2014, 04:01:55 PM »

This bot makes slime and a venom that should deter any would-be tie feeder (at least partially) For a more effective veg, put a larger value in .venval.

Okaay... *crack fingers*
There are several ways to go about this. My (very successful) method is to make a sim with very little costs, no DNA costs, and 100 bots with DNA composed of 10,000 random numbers from -32000 to 32000 .Random.org generates random numbers, methinks. Change point mutations to 50 (instead of 5000) and wait. Once you find a few reproducers, dump them in another sim and put some selective pressure on them.

edit: Oh sorry bots, I forgot to mention this does not qualify as a zerobot anymore. It is a random bot.

Simulation Emporium / Re: Q: shortest zerobot reproduction time

« on: January 26, 2014, 08:53:04 AM »

The shortest time ever was 30sec  . I used 10,000 random numbers from -32000 to 32000. It had a huge lag, however...  stable repro usually occurs around 3-7h, the first bots to reproduce often kill themselves from sheer fertility... Figures.

Bot Tavern / List of random ideas

« on: January 24, 2014, 04:51:11 PM »

- Meta-bot: A bot which does not act only upon code but has a degree of flexibility- it will act on things that give it .pleas
- Sadist Bot- a bot that likes to cause pain to other bots
-Masochist virus- A fun virus for such a meta-bot would be a virus that stores .pain into .pleas, making the bot a masochist
-Poison/venom ideas:
a. blinding (stores 0 into .eyef or .eye5)
b. Hallucinogen- stores random numbers ino one of the .eye's
c. Anesthesia- stores an absurdly high number in .pleas (for a meta-bot) or just shuts down the poor creature (one way or another...)
d. Rape- store a large number in .sexrepro
e. Genetic deterioration- store a random number in .delgene
f. Metabolic toxin- forces the poor creature to undergo production of slime, poison or shell (instakill) or store/burn body. These could be VERY dangerous
g. Conspec destruction- Break in/out, refeye, ect.

Anyone have any ideas? How about a meta-bot? Ive seen a challenge for that floating around somewhere...
