Title: Hi, and a question about eyewidths
Post by: Commander Keen on September 18, 2007, 10:36:30 PM

Hi, I recently DL'ed Darwinbots and I have to say, congrats, it's really cool  
There's lots of commands but not too many to understand. Just enough to have variety.

I've made a few bots, most of them were pretty bad. I've uploaded the best in the Bestiary. Don't think it's good enough to go in  a tournament, but maybe if I streamline it a bit...

Ties seem a bit more complicated, but I made a gene that foils tie-feeders anyway...

What I'm really wondering about, is how do you change the width of eyes? I saw a bot with 1 giant eye, and I've tried to make a bot that changes the width of its eyes, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there some trick to it, like doing it at age 0 or something?

They arn't documented on the Wiki yet.  If you get ambitious, please by all means feel free....

Thanks!

I can hardly wait to make a bot using variably sized eyes now!
