Title: Holy crap, is this normal?
Post by: shvarz on October 20, 2005, 04:19:59 PM

Started a new sim in 2.4.3 and almost immediately veggies mutated (I turned mutations ON) into triangular bots!  I thought that it could only be done with the "smiley" button.  Did something change?  Moreover, if I press the "smiley" button then they turn into squares (not queer sqares, just regular squares) and pentagrams!  What is going on?

Saved sim file attached.  I can also attach settings file, which has the user-defined random seed.

And while you are looking at it, also note that some veggies got HUGE accelerations...  Have not seen them flying so fast for quite some time...

I suspect that the triangles are acually skins. In some cases the skins are bigger than the bot radius in 2.4.

Okay, PY is right and it's the skins your seeing.  The bots themselves are tiny.

The vegs are moving along at a steady clip of 21 twips/cycle, which doesn't break any laws but I have no idea why they're moving that fast.

All in all no actual bugs (well, the skin thing is sort of a graphical bug).
