Suggestions / Leagues (again)

« on: December 01, 2006, 04:24:12 PM »

And if so, seeing as this defeats the idea of having a fairly unlimited league length, is there any chance of changing it?

219

Newbie / not need end instruction anymore?

« on: December 01, 2006, 02:03:16 PM »

As the title said, am just trolling the forum downloading the SB and MB leagues and wanted to make sure.

Cool! The leagues are all being merged into one atm, hopefully the last problem with running the leagues in the latest version of DB has been fixed now. As soon as all the bots have been re-rated the results will be posted.

Off Topic / le carrier pigeon

« on: November 30, 2006, 07:43:24 PM »

I ***** too much and so and so
here are some facts
I thought that you might not want to know;

The last flock of carrier pigeons was shot by a bunch of American sportsmen in one day, 1/4 million birds.

4 carrier pigeons were sent to a Canadian trench; they ate three and sent the last one back with a thank you note...

Hey, I have heard that Moscow can't get its vodka there by truck quick enough; so they built a vodke pipeline!

And it's off to bed I go I go...

Suggestions / Survival of the fittest

« on: November 30, 2006, 07:01:48 PM »

Here's a thought;

After a recent discussion following the post about Richard Dawkins and why bots devolve instead of evolve, plus a recent discussion about how the 'best bot' selection button works why not have an option to kill the worst bot? It seems to me, in my blissful cloud of ignorance, that enviromental pressures have a lot to do with the successful evolution of 'fit bots'.

While the intention is to add various enviromental pressures to the sims, these are perhaps a long term goal requiring a fair amount of work. Would it not be easier, certainly in the short term, even if we allowed for selection of what defined the 'worst bot' in the same way that there was talk of being able to define the parameters for the 'best bot', to allow for an arbitary cull of those misbegotten and unwanted offspring?

Perhaps a time or population controlled cull?

I realise that this might tread the icy thin waters of eugenics but it does, at this point in space, seem a reasonable way to emulate enviromental pressure without needing an pro-active or aggressive enviroment.

Bugs and fixes / League Problems

« on: November 30, 2006, 10:09:13 AM »

Deleted bots from text file and put irish guys bot in first place, the idea being to run all the other bots, in alphabetical order, against it to create new league positions.

Problem being that each time I try to run a new sim with a new bot to enter into the league I get the message "Challenger and defender are same bot do you want to continue?" and when I go back to new sim the bot I tried to add has been replaced by two copies of Irish guys bot.

Off Topic / Leagues

« on: November 22, 2006, 08:15:02 AM »

Just wondering, seeing as competition is about the only thing that makes me concentrate on writing bots, if there is any chance of selecting a newer, almost stable, DB edition and bringing the leagues into this 'brave new world' that seems to be forming for our lovely little digital DNA carriers. If not, then any idea how long before we get a suitable platform to run the leagues again?

I am quite happy to run the league tests or whatever if people don't have the time to do it themselves, that's not a problem. I'm missing the combat.

Off Topic / Panspermia

« on: November 14, 2006, 05:42:24 PM »

I nearly didn’t post this, but things seem to have been really quiet here so here is my latest review of a TV program…

Another interesting program by Horizon.

Starting with the southern Indian ‘red rain’ the colour of which was identified as cells and at first was identified as having no dna to the extremophiles being studied by one of NASA’s astrophysicists, brine shrimp living in water three times as salty as the ocean at 80 degrees, an organism living in penguin guano that can multiply down to -5 degrees to the organism found living in nuclear reactors around spent nuclear rods that created holes in the stainless steel surround.

Surveyor 3 sent to the moon 2 ½ years before lunar landing brought back an organism on the inside of the foam inside the camera. Believed to be an earth born organism that had survived over 3 months in space.

The Murchison? Meteorite that landed in Australia, when examined under the electron microscope seems to show the remains of living micro organisms. It’s a highly contentious claim.
Firing bugs, that live in rocks, at 5 km/sec into water with rock behind it, (to simulate a meteorite hitting the ocean) something that would kill most things, confirmed that some bugs can survive, albeit with a low survival rate.

Apparently even some of the micro organisms on the space shuttle Columbia, that blew up on re-entry, survived.

Most scientists now believe that micro organisms can survive many extremities, cold, heat, impact even periods of vacuum and many believe that life almost certainly exists else where in the universe.

Compared to the more standard (non religious) belief that life created itself on this planet, Panspermia is the belief that life originated elsewhere and was brought to the earth from outer space (via a meteorite perhaps.)

***

Life and its appearance on earth is a wondrous thing; from its religious connotations to the Acarus mites of Andrew Crosse, precursor to Frankenstein. I think it is very unlikely that life arrived in this way, an extremophile of extremophiles arriving on a lump of rock. Then again if it did; Darwinbots continually show that they love to devolve away from the acme of design into often lazy and simplistic forms. Who is to say the first building blocks of life didn’t arrive from elsewhere?

PS, some extremophiles show a great resistance to radiation, does this challenge the way mutations work in DB?
