Darwinbots Program Source Code / Use http get and set requests instead of ftp

« on: April 19, 2017, 11:32:19 PM »

Hey Numsgil I was thinking (well actually I got the idea from a guy I hang out with at school)

Can we replace the ftp with simple http get and set requests? That way we can really streamline everything and make it scale.

Problem is, do not how a clue how to write the server side portion of it. I may be able to hack the client side into vb6 though.

Also, wasn't this exactly what Shasta was working on?

Off Topic / Project Greenlight

Ns if this should go into Offtopic or Shadow's "duel evo sim" post or Announcements, might as well go into offtopic.

Native eco system in darwinbots

The reason this works is:

1.) In order to actually feed from chloroplasts a robot must express movement and shooting, however shooting and movement is suppressed as long as a robot has chloroplasts. I was thinking about primitive life and how stuff evolved to collect chemicals first before it learned to use chloroplasts. This means that if the robot is tired of being a plant it will revert to hunt for food. (The plants stop being plants when there is not enough light available for them leading to a predator cycle)

2.) In normal conditions all plants will eventually die because there "non plant" variants are too powerful. This leads to extinction of the entire ecosystem. To solve the problem I simply give them plenty initial energy, crank up the cost to move, and lower movement efficiency. This means that if there is not enough food close by the predators will die. (Nothing hunting and plenty of sun light freed up by the predator cycle and good sized initial energy leads to a prey cycle where the plants happily reproduce again.)

Bugs and fixes / path or file access error followed by file not found

« on: February 12, 2017, 07:44:58 PM »

This is an old error that potentially is preventing people from playing with my restart modes (such as leagues and automatic evolutions)
I finally figured out what is causing it. Basically if you have a file open in the "league" or "evolution" folder and after that without closing the file or folder initiate a new restart mode the program will crash trying to delete the old league or evolution folder recursive.

The problem is, after that crash  if you run the program again, it is still trying to look for a restart mode and the whole install of the program seems butched.

The quick work around for now instead of reinstalling darwinbots completely just delete "restartmode.gset" file from the main folder.

Bugs and fixes / Replace up, dn, sx, dx with fwd, bkwd, left, right

« on: January 05, 2017, 05:59:06 PM »

Up --> Swimfwd
Dn --> Swimbkwd
Dx --> Swimright
Sx --> Swimleft

And such.

This is a long overdue change and something I will add to my port anyway. I am changing the way ".thisgene .delgene" (I would prefer people disable healthy non-viral genes, also this prevents a nasty virus from deleting its hosts genes) will work so I will create a system to reorganize DNA no matter what.
I want to add this stuff to version 2.49. It will basically except the text file and generate a binary file with the correct DNA that is editable with my 'user friendly' internal DNA editor. I like Numsgils idea of having a DNA editor.

I also want to standardize the sysvar names as the LoadSysVars code is turning into a mess. And yes, I am guilty for some of that mess too. I think it is time to clean it up.

Bugs and fixes / EricL's FTP IM + my attempt to save it for what is worth

« on: January 02, 2017, 09:45:29 PM »

I cannot really see why EricL FTP based IM was abandoned other then security concerns.

If there are other reasons please do tell.

Also, is there any way to give each user a unique username and password? That in combination with not letting people mess with the source code should eliminate any security issues. I think.

Any ideas?

RANT / Why was Spike so annoying?

« on: November 13, 2016, 10:33:01 PM »

He totally reminded me of my mothers ex boyfriend. Especially with his constant use of "mhm" and location "Earf" he was making fun of my mother I felt. She uses mhm and can not say earth properly. Also with the Russian babes thing, it did make me move out.

Also this thought me a life lesson:

No matter what you think you know about an anonymous person, you must judge him based on how he presents himself to others.

Darwinbots3 / Big berthas in DB3?

« on: November 12, 2016, 08:17:51 AM »

If we just let robots get massive and slowly ingest everything smaller we will have an evolutionary dead end. Alex from 'evolution' apparently had this exact problem in his early versions.

Related: Will there really be no shots in DB3?

Announcements / Darwinbots 2.48.32

« on: November 04, 2016, 09:04:49 AM »

Only changes to my survival fitness algorithms and few minor bug fixes. Mostly added balance functions. If you are not using my fitness algorithms then really no need to update:

Added another mutation correction algorithm to fix "robot never changed" events.

Added rule to revert one stage if robots evolve something really unstable and above rule does not help.

For DNA size correction simply based on DNA file now.

Bug fix: If a shot reaches maturity and flashes at the same time, preference flash.
Bug fix: Ignore negative energies for fittest

For zerobot algo. automatic restart after 500 stages. Findbest for zerobot ignores families with cancerous robots.

Ideal settings for evolving zerobots
Disallow fixing or unfixing
Disable chloroplats
Sine wave mutation oscillation 10 at 20x and 60 at 1/20x
333 Delta2 cycle interval for point mutations
Normalize DNA length * 100 slowest rate to * 200
I generally have P2 mutations enabled but complete zerobots usually do not have many. (Maybe in later versions it will be wise to limit P2 mutations a bit rather then getting rid of them completely)
Kill greedy robots ON, Limit body 2500.
You may not get a good result from the first try. My most recent zb took 10 "universe restarts" to evolve.
Note: Zerobot evo. is currently optimized for smaller feild areas

In general set slowest rate to * 10000 for survival evolution mode.

The Starting Gate / TRON(F1)(Botsareus_Darwinbots)9-16-2016

« on: October 14, 2016, 09:22:59 AM »

adaptation history:

• reproduce at higher value and more random
• run away from mama
• adjusts angle of travel

I started with high amplification and insertion mutations to get some junk DNA going. At some point it started to run horizontal across the screen so I added a bit y-gravity.

Darwinbots Program Source Code / Buckets?

« on: August 11, 2016, 09:25:40 PM »

I am just trying to figure out a section of code:

Code: [Select]

'This is the buckets Array
Dim Buckets() As BucketType

Public Type BucketType
  arr() As Integer
  size As Integer 'number of bots in the bucket i.e. highest array element with a bot
  adjBucket(8) As vector ' List of buckets adjoining this one.  Interior buckets will have 8.  Edge buckets 5.  Corners 3.
End Type
Why do we use buckets in DB2? I know it has something to do with multibot collisions, but beyond that I am lost. Will it not be faster to check collisions one bot at a time instead of using buckets?

Suggestions / idea: use multibot at the start of a new simulation.

« on: July 26, 2016, 11:48:08 AM »

Mainly for evolution simulations. I had plenty of cases where I extract just the DNA and it refuses to behave correctly in a new simulation. There will be a need to rescale energy and body so the grouping of robots will have the same energy and body as a group as a single robot does at startup. Probably throw in some limits as well if it is a huge multibot it does not die from starwation: Maybe 15 body minimum and 100 nrg minimum. Also the robot that actually was identified as best will have a minimum 100 body 300 nrg.

Announcements / Darwinbots 2.48.31

« on: July 17, 2016, 01:02:47 PM »

More realistic and less buggy elasticity: Got rid of CoefficientElasticity rescaling for massive robots and replaced with limit overlapping robots by physically changing position.

Bug fix in set aim: Made sure angdiff gets passed a normalized angle and no longer divide ma correction by 2.
Bug fix in kill robot.
Other minor bug fixing and unused code removal.

Fixed the way static friction works:

Static friction no longer causes robots to travel in the opposite direction. (For example when you apply a large force such as 40 .up for one cycle at high static friction)
Vector of motion is calculated as part of static friction: A robot no longer has to be completely stationary to experience static friction. If it attempts to move in a perpendicular direction to the direction it is currently moving static friction is applyed.

Also, kinetic friction now reduces spin momentum less and the reduction is now applied to robots who do not move but only spin.

Reposition code is back but it is more accurate. Also, instead of scattering robots across the screen it just offsets the robots so they should still be able to find each other if they are doing team work. Also, shots are erased on blue respawn.

Fixed an old bug where robots where overlapping on top of shapes and screen borders when they where traveling really quickly.
Fixed an old bug where returning shots where getting crazy velocity from robots blocked by shapes or edge of screen.

Fudging rules no longer apply to repopulating robots.

Poison now is 4x cheaper to make so hopefully it will be more usable. Also the effects of poison where lowered to match venom more.
The delta limit for producing slime is now 200. This makes it harder to tie feed on very slimey vegs.

Bug fix: Bodgain and Bodloss work now.

P.S.

The new physics needs Beta testing if anyone is interested.

Darwinbots Program Source Code / Butched buoyancy in DB2?

« on: June 24, 2016, 06:19:48 PM »

Numsgil, I know I just asked you a question about poison and yet had not had a response. However, here is another one that is also on my mind - might as well ask it now.

Currently buoyancy in DB2 is based on the hot air balloon effect - I recall you where not too happy with it when I implemented it. A robot needs to maintain its 'air' at a certain temperature and sustain an appropriate cost to 'float' at a certain level.

Maybe a better way of doing it would have been like a submarine. A robot needs to swim all the way to the top of the screen to collect air and compress it. It can only collect air while on top of the screen and is charged a cost for doing so. Then the robot can convert the compressed air it collected into buoyancy and float at any level it wants. This would have required a new compressed air sysvar.

What do you think?

P.S.

This change is major enough to require a 2.49 release. and I am getting close to 2.5 which is supposed to be the cpp version. It is just out there to talk about for now.
