If anybody is still on, there's a new strain of HSLS I'm trying out called "HSVirLite2". If you'd let me know how it's doing in your sims, and the settings, that'd be great

DNA - General / Most effective use of poison?

« on: February 19, 2010, 10:52:06 AM »

When you produce a poison, what's the best memory location to target?

I've been thinking about this, and the fact that you can only nullify one memory location... I'm just not coming up with any brilliant ideas that would turn an attacker into a piece of cake for you to nom

Nah, Tibbles bot is way better. A HSLS grabs onto to it to feed, it turns round and shoots it till it dies. Tibbles bot wins out every time. I have tne of the massively mutated HSLS:

Bot Tavern / Trying to evolve symbiosis

« on: February 18, 2010, 07:50:32 PM »

I've been visited by bots from TibbleTest and Newbie. The PlantSimbiot was the one I was trying to evolve symbiosis with. Fruit flies are just plain annoying   you can't get rid of them!

Bot Tavern / Trying to evolve symbiosis

Well, I had to force it a bit, but I may have sort of maybe almost got it

Keep an eye out for MultiSimBiot-unfinished on IM. It should latch onto plants, branch out, catch other bots and make them part of the network. Tested it with HSLiteSammeh(the original) and it worked fairly well. I don't know if it's symbiosis in it's truest sense, but the captured bot gets a share of the energy of the whole network, as well as a free load of shell.

EDIT: Scratch that. HSLS is not playing nice

Original HSLiteSammeh:

Code: [Select]

cond
 *.robage 10 <
start
 30 .up store
stop

cond
 *.eye5 0 >
 *.refeye *.myeye !=
start
 *.refveldx .dx store
 *.refvelup 30 add .up store
-1 .tieloc store
-1000 .tieval store
stop


cond
 *.eye5 50 >
 *.refeye *.myeye !=
start
 *.refveldx .dx store
 *.refvelup .up store
 1 .tie store
-1 .tieloc store
-1000 .tieval store
stop


cond
 *.eye5 0 =
 *.refeye *.myeye = or
start
314 rnd .aimdx store
10 .up store
-1 .tieloc store
-1000 .tieval store
stop

'can't afford to make shell with less than 2000 energy
cond
*.shell 5000 <
*.nrg 2000 >
start
100 .mkshell store
stop


cond
 *.nrg 5000 >
start
 50 .repro store
stop

'oh god I'm gonna die, panic and make tons of offspring
cond
 *.nrg 1000 <
 *.nrg 500 >
start
 20 .repro store
stop

It's change quite a lot

Internet pop doesn't work right on mine, can't download pop files.  

Just had to close my sim down because my laptop is screwing up again, but there were 500 in a sim with 34x costs, and 1000 in a sim with F1 costs but with a day/night cycle.

Saved the DNA of one of the more interesting ones, will play with it.

EDIT: back in IM, HSLiteSammeh is doing miles better than HSLiteSammehEVOLVED. ie, 64 to 556.
Also, Houshalter, how high is your mutation setting? Every time I get a bot back from you it has about 100 more mutations

HSLiteSammeh is pwning  I can't get rid of it  even the F1 league champion Quickdraw just reduced its numbers before becoming extinct itself   Mind you, I'm not really running under F1 conditions, pretty sure it wouldn't stand a chance in a head to head.

EDIT: Was just looking at the best bot in my sim (which currently has it's cost multiplyer at 33 ), it was a really mutated HSLiteSammeh, it actually latches onto a veg, and only starts feeding when it's energy drops below 2000, once it's above, it stops feeding and lets the veg grow a bit  It also reproduces when it has 2500 energy, meaning it's essentially evolved from a hunter to a parasite! awesome :3

Anybody on IM, have you seen my HSLiteSammeh? How is it doing?

In my sim it was dominating until I introduced FruitFliesv0.21, it's still putting up a good fight though.

Bot Tavern / Trying to evolve symbiosis

« on: February 18, 2010, 04:43:58 AM »

I've made a fairly simple symbiote that latches onto a veg, shares energy, and causes the veg and itself to produce slime+shell and share them equally. The plant gets most of the waste since it can get rid of it, but otherwise for sharing it's energy it gets a whole load of protection from predators.

I threw these symbiotes in with a load of zero bots in the hope that they'd evolve a symbiotic link, ie: zerobots evolved to hunt things that weren't symbiotes, symbiote made zerobot better at hunting. After about 5 failed sims though, i just can't figure out how to trigger an evolutionary pressure that forces the symbiosis  

Any ideas?
