Evolution and Internet Sharing Sims / Single Bot Sim?
« on: October 09, 2008, 01:04:43 PM »
Er I haven't really posted all that much but earlier this year I had a fair bit of fun playing with Darwinbots and just picked it up again to have something to do when my computer just sits there.
Anyway I have been trying an evosim using a zerobot but sadly haven't really got the patience or processing power for anything good (1.4GHZ laptop...), my current proper evosim consits of 50 zerobots with 100 base pair and has been running about 4 hours, no discernible change in behaviour but they are developing some interesting mutations that might allow for reproduction and locomotion, I have made them veggies as having nrg shooting bots bogs down my cycles a second, put gravity on so they fall to the bottom and added Brownian motion, any suggestions as to when they will learn to reproduce?
On to the topic I wanted to discuss, I have left my original evosim for the moment and tried something odd, I have create a sim governed by the same rules as the original except it has only 1 bot in it, my cycles a second are between 650 and 1060 and have had over 35 million so far. I was just wondering whether others have tried single bot sims and whether they are worth something since they are quicker than normal ones.
So far my little bot has 83 mutations, 3 genes and a few store commands. None of the genes are activate though.
