Thisone I'm really excited about. Why? Well, not only have they heard of Darwinbots. We were actualy the inspiration for their creation!
Woo!
Damn I wish I had disk with me, I want to check this thing out.
SoL (http://alsimsol.tripod.com/index.htm).
-
Num, search trough our old treads, I remember one of our noobys, graven or somebody talking about this one, that he is working on it...
-
That was not cool. Make your own Icons people...

Huh?
-
Sol is using a DB icon.
-
That's fine, Darwinbots has a non-official "copy me all you like" license ;)
To be hoenst, Carlo might hav stolen the icons from somewhere else himself.
-
alright glad I got that off my my mind...
-
They don't just use the icons! They also used the name of one of our members! Look in the readme file!
-
Anyone got it to work? Gives me run-time error every time I click on "New simulation"
-
Did you know this SOL comes from no toher than our own Greven?
this is in the readme:
~ Nikolaj Gammelmark, AKA Greven

that program sux, its the worse peace of crap ive seen in a long time, I hate it. you can obviusly see they have been copying.
-
That's one way to put it... :huh:
Not very nice though. How would you like it if people said that about YOUR stuff?
Henk :angry:
-
the program is ok, its worst cause its so obvius it have been copied from DB. from that ive seen worse Alife program, but the thing I hate is that its SO COPIED.
-
it's INSPIRED. it'd be bad if he didn't mention DB. But he did.

Well, if anyone did read anything, you will notice that it is [span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']far from finished[/span].
I always liked AL, and had worked with it for a long time.
DB is inspiring me a lot, but when I am not able to influence the community of DB, well I make my own. That's the difference between you and me Zelos, I have the creativity to start something up, and create something from scratch. Well it is not a competetion about making the best A-Life program in the world. There is nothing as the best AL, its is an individual opionion. Well I will remove the DB icons if you please, and start over! And I will now also leave this board for good. Have a good time, and luck to you all, and to DB.
It was fun as long as it lasted.

Well I cant even find a way to delete my self! Num/or anyother Administrator, please delete my profile, when you get the time.
-
Well sorry to disappoint everyone, including you Num.
-
Well sorry to disappoint everyone, including you Num.
You only dissapointed Zelos. Don't let him stop you from making something you want.

sorry man, I didnt know it was you. I never ment to be mean. I never mean it.but henk got a point, when I heard "inspire by db"I thought it would be better, and its also that ive seen ALs like that before, so then it becomes more of a dissapointment, and sorry for bieng so rude. I were having a fight with my parents and it went over you. im really sorry :(
sorry again :( I wish you good luck and hope you´ll succed making it better
and I really mean it, I dont know what came over me
-
Gave the program a once over. Didn't know it was you, you should spam our boards when you make something new ;)
-
Omg, Greven I just sayed you should get more creative and use Icon softwear to make it look more proffesional... I did not say LEAVE DB did I?
-
hey bot, do you know any program like that?
-
"Icon Isel" or somthing, you need to do a google search for "Icon editor".
Ofcorse an easy solution is to use c++ or .net icon editor but the ammount of colors you get sux.
I don't have the softwear since 2 years ago when my harddrive crashed so I am ns of the correct spelling.
-
"Just write a vb that alters your system time for a couple of seconds... thats what I did." what do you mean with this?
-
sorry nm, it won't work?? Stop thinking of ways to hack zelos, bad boy...
-
ok, but still can you explain it?
-
With your vb install you can find a file called win32api.txt , it has the grey side, but it is not the dark side yet. Microsoft does not publish the "hiddin" functions of windows.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\Winapi
You need msdn to be able to make some sense of it.
-
thx god I got it on my computer

~Greven
more power to you Greven ...
it's no different than any other mutation ...
the program should evlove in as many ways as is possible. imo.
I'll come check you out next week when I have more time.
just do it like you know it. ;)
~griz~
-
Agreed. :)
Glad you(Greven) used the same basic webside interaction template as DB does.
Lord knows the other alife programs ought to do the same. Hard to tell what's active and what is a ghost site.
-
Hey I wouldn't mind setting up an entire forum on this site to be dedicated to greven's new creation.
Go Greven!
Couldn't care less if you want to borrow a few icons.
-
good, but aint this carlos creationg?
-
I don't think Carlo's minds one way or another. Other than stopping by to see what's up from time to time, he isn't actively involved in DB anymore (one kind of gets the impression DB is going north when he would have preferred west, so to speak).
-
why did he stop?
-
He lost interest. We all lose interest in some things from time to time. That I've stayed with Darwinbots as long as I have is really quite remarkable, to be honest. Longest I've ever stayed on a project.
-
that PY is still on is even more remarkeble. But nums plz dont leave, dont leav, OH GOD WHY AE you GONNA LEAVE. kidding ;)
-
"Shane! Shane! Come back Shane! Momma loves you, I know she does!"
:lol:
-
good, but aint this carlos creationg?
Originally yes but you have to remember that Carlo stopped actively programming after V2.11. From there till mid 2.3 was my stuff and since then it has been mostly Num's with a bit of mine thrown in here and there.
-
hmm, I think I played once carlos version before you begin doing stuff that is
-

True about me also. I think it's all the usability and community DB has going for it, otherwise I would have been long gone.
Considering DB has been released far and wide as freeware, and heavily modified at that, I'd say DB belongs to everyone.
Oh about the Icons some of them are very familiar from other aplications :)
-
exacly how did you find sol nums?
-
Wikipedia. There was a link up for a while. Then someone decided to remove it (wasn't me).
-
ok, ive seen a few new apphere, how often do you go there?
-
Every other day or so, I have a registered name and I'm watching the Alife/Darwinbots/etc. pages, so I get alerted to new updates.
-
neat
-
you can too Zelos ...
start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alife (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alife)
in the upper right, click on login/start an account.
be sure to check the box that says "Remember across sessions"
and you won't have to log in every time you go there.
when logged in, you will also see in the upper right ... "watchlist".
if you go to the ALIFE page or DarwinBots or whatever page you want ...
click there on "watch" and it will be added to your "watchlist".
so now when you go to Wikipedia, click on that and you will see if anyone
has edited any of those watched pages.
the darwinbots page is here:
