no vista

yes I have the 2.1 but this one is inside a folder inside the 2.1 directory. should I move it out into the open with the 2.1 exe?

OOOH!
whats the self destruct command!?!?....erm...please... lol

I wanted something like that originally. so that they produce 1 big offspring and die. I kinda wanted them to be single celled humans... sorta


and I'm okay with them popping. they limit thier own population that way. its designed to prolong the race. not much care for individuals.

It sounds amazing and I'm dying to test out my Communitus_Friendlius but I cant get it to work. I dont know what to put in the FTP Server box

I'm running 2.43.1j

"run-time error '5'"
"invalid procedure call or argument"

"C:\Program Files\DarwinBots\F1leaguetable.txt doesnt exist"

thats what I keep getting when I try to do the F1 league thingamajig


and internet sharing gives me

"run time error '76'"
"path not found"

both of these suggest I'm missing program files. where can I download em?

but I like em big.
and they only reproduce at 20000 body. thier body cuts in almost half after breeding


any idea how to make them less suseptable to that mutation I mentioned? they mutate changing the > symbol to a <

then the babies have babies and so on and it just goes nuts like 10k bots in a little cluster and it locks up.

this bot is built around helping its species as a whole. it preserves food, heals the weak, kills the rich. its really kind of a communist actually...

it has peripheral vision to make it an effective hunter. but it lacks shells poisons venom or ties or any of that advanced stuff. it does very well against any packaged bots from previous versions and is the best bot I've made so far.

its biggest problem is it has a high tendancy to get this nasty mutational disease. it takes out the breeding condition causing it to breed itself to death and all the offspring breed. it locks up the program very quickly. if you turn off mutations you'll be amazed as its effectiveness though.
