Anyone want to join me in evolving bots adapted to high MF, zero momentum environment with fast-running shell-making food?
See the attached file for sample settings and starting veggie. I am planning to increase the speed of the veggie and its shell-making value higher and higher, until bots evolve to run fast and feed using ties.
Start the simulation and share your bots into folder called "zero".
I also included the bot that I am going to start with (it's an evolved version of Dom ternia in which I replaced .repro on .sexrepro). Feel free to start with it as well, or pick your own starting bot if you want.

Should we evolve the algo as well? Or are you aiming for the bots to reach a predefined benchmark?

What I would like to see is a robot that evolves tie feeding from scratch.
How much chance do you think we have of that happening?
I have seen ties evolve but never along with feeding
-
the problem of course is that it has to remember what number it used, which is incredibly hard to evolve.
I would recommend restructuring the sysvars such that they all work independantly. I don't have a concrete proposal yet, but it would probably be something along the lines of what I propsed earier, with all tie functions pre-pointing at an existing tie.
Then all you have to do is evolve, in this order:
feed through tie
create tie
Instead of:
feed through Xth tie
set tie fxns to X
fire tie X.

It might be possible for a sharefeeder to evolve, since the tienum is not required. Although I think Num's idea has a better chance for success.
