DNA - General / Would this work?

« on: November 22, 2009, 07:53:33 AM »

I had an idea about eyes. It goes like this

Set eye 1 as focused eye
Check refs
Act accordingly
Set eye 2 as focused eye
Check refs
Act accordingly
Set eye 3 as focused eye
Check refs
Act accordingly

All in one gene. Would that work?

Also, what's wrong with this?

cond
 *.mode 1 =
 *.submode 1 =
 *.eyef 0 !=
start
 2 .submode store
stop

I used the console to test it mode was 1, submode was 1 and eyef wasn't 0 and it was all true but the gene didn't activate. Any thoughts?

DNA - General / Simple question about shots

« on: November 20, 2009, 05:41:44 PM »

Can you plz tell me if this works?

Code: [Select]

-1 .shoot store
 *.refbody 10 mult *.refnrg <
 -6 .shoot store

It's supposed to see if it will kill faster with body or -1 shots and do it. The bot shoots but I don't know, it might only use body. Thanks in advance

DNA - General / Simple question about shots

« on: November 20, 2009, 11:29:12 AM »

I made a bot that feeds on plants and when it sees something that can shoot and isn't one of it's own, it fires a -1 shot with *.refnrg in shootval. It always kills instantly, so I was wondering, what kind of defense can a bot have against something like that if it doesn't even have a chance to react except for shell.

Any help would be nice.

EDIT: Just figured shell doesn't protect you from -1...

OH MEH GAWD!!!

Whaaaa....
How?

*runs away*

Though I'm a little scared to ask, could you explain how it works?

If it's too long to explain or something you don't need to.

I've made a code that determines which eye has the greatest value and sets it as a focus eye.
This is it:

[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']cond
*.mode 1 =
start
-4 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye2 *.eye1 >
start
-3 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye3 *.eye2 >
start
-2 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye4 *.eye3 >
start
-1 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye5 *.eye4 >
start
0 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye6 *.eye5 >
start
1 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye7 *.eye6 >
start
2 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye8 *.eye7 >
start
3 .focuseye store
stop

cond
*.mode 1 =
*.eye9 *.eye8 >
start
4 .focuseye store
stop

The problem:
It's 9 genes. Has anyone thought of something that has the same effect but it less genes?

If someone has, can I use it?


As usual, thanks in advance =)

Yes. Now that you mention it, it would be better if I put it in bot tavern. Thx

Untagged bots / Hunter v.5

« on: November 02, 2008, 04:43:00 PM »

Thanks for the advice.

0.7 is getting quite smart actually.
It uses all 9 eyes and all.

Will improve it .

You know in one sim they mutated and started following each other (I can see how it happened) and attacking together.
It never happened again but it gave me the idea.

I know pack hunting or something like that was done before but is it efficient?

And I don't mean pack hunting which Etch uses (damn swarms....).

Here's my hunter. It's in 0.5 so it's still a work in progress.

I have no idea how good or bad it is.

I think I figured it out...

It's the bot... It reproduces so fast that if it has no veggies it dies.

As I myself hate spam, I'm putting yet another question in this thread.

And this one is really weird...

So ok. I saw a lot of posts about etch so I decided to find it and see if my bot can beat it. Well I found it (I think)
And when I run the simulation, everything goes well for a few seconds and then all of the sudden, all of the Etch
disappear.

Just like that, one by one the disappear.

What the heck?

You have been very helpful.

I have one more unrelated question.

Are values stored I order I write them or is there some other order?
Like if I write:
-1 .shoot store
8 .shootval store

Is it the same thing as
8 .shootval store
-1 .shoot store

?

Because in the wiki it says that moving commands always get executed before shooting commands and so on...

1. That still didn't answer my question. Already read that

2. Ok. I'm using 300 right now. It's pretty effective but shoot's a little to short.

3. You can do that by changing the focuseye but I think it requires like 9 genes or something and that's just a little too much...

Ok. I have several body related questions.

1. How is the actual body value calculated?
-Is it like energy?
If I have 1000 energy and get one more it's 1001, if I have 3000 energy and get one more I have 3001.
-Or is it more like eye?
Eye is 0, the bot get's a little closer and eye is 1. Eye is 50, the bot gets a little closer and eye is suddenly 3000 or something.
-See what I mean? Eye increases exponentially (I think)

2. What is the optimal body size?
-I want a bot that can hunt. That means I need a balance between movement and shooting.

3. What do you think is the best solution for eating swarms?
-I've seen a lot of bots that reproduce until they are really, really, really small (body 5 or less).
So now there's like 100 of them, everyone of them has 100 energy. 100*100=10000.
-I want to eat them but my bot has a lot of trouble hitting them.
I know I could think of something to eat them but how can my bot tell there is a whole lot of them?
He only has 9 eyes, which means he can see a total of 9 bots and there's at least 9 bots when he hits a group of veggies.
How can he tell if they are hostile or leafy?


Thanks in advance.

Does that mean I can make my own variables with names?

Like instead of using 1 40 store I could use 1 .myveryownvar store.
