Title: alge minimal bug
Post by: Billylegota on August 15, 2013, 09:46:12 PM

I just got darwinbots 2 and think it is amazing, there is just one issue: the alge minimal bots keep splitting into 300+ mini ones and killing my computer, what can I do to fix this?

Here is the alge minimal bot's code:

' Alga minimalis
'
' Vegetable
'
' This robot has a single gene,
' necessary for it to reproduce.
' Energy is given to it by the program,
' by checking the "autotroph" box.

cond
  *.nrg
  6000
  >
start
  50
  .repro
  store
  15
  .aimdx
  store
stop
end

Thanks in advance...

I think I found the problem, some bots can become cancerous and multiply like crazy.

If you have mutations enabled, it can turn cancerous, yeah.  Not a bug; a feature :)

If they're being fed at a reasonable rate, the cancerous ones usually die off. :)
