Title: Bots go off screen
Post by: Martian on June 02, 2007, 01:00:38 PM

The bots in my sim sink into the bottom of the screen. It is non toroidal with gravity. Attached is a sim (although it happens in every sim I run) and a screenshot. I'm running windows xp home with 1 gigabyte of ram and 3ghz cpu.

It's not so much a bug as a limitation of the physics engine Darwinbots uses.  I managed to fix this problem in the C++ version I was working on, but there were other issues that crop up after you fix collisions.  I know it's a problem, and physics is on the top of my list of things I'm ironing out.

Go ahead and click on the "lock" button and you can zoom out and bring the bots into focus.
