Newbie / Can DB do this?
« on: September 02, 2006, 05:48:07 PM »
Hello,
After searching google for evolutionary simulators I discovered Darwin Bots. It looks like a fantastic program and not _too_ difficult to create custom bots. I want to use it for this years science fair. Forgive me if this question has been asked or the post is in the wrong location, I've only had a few hours to search through the material.
I want to test altruistic/genetic behavior amoung organisms. Basically, is it possible in the simulation engine for two bots to come together and merge into a symbiotic realtionship? Like the theory that our cells are mergers of mutually benificial ancient bacteria. I didn't see sexual reproduction as an option in the engine so I'm not sure if this would be a big set back for the simulation....
Thanks for your help.
