Bot Tavern / [Bot in progress] New Eyesight idea

« on: December 09, 2014, 02:26:11 PM »

Our body as a whole, doesn't just...See...so i've come up with a idea, a main body with 2 very stiff ties at opposite sides (not front and back, but left and right) with tiny little bots with variable marking them as EYES, they simple rotate on their stiff tie, and change tie length (to a normal of about 10, and if shot they move by like...6) and a lot of info (angle, distance, which eye its in, tie length etc.) is fed into the main body which processes the 2 EYES info together, and works out how far away, and where a enemy is...then spare eyes used for 360 short range vision which is litterally like feeling

Bot Tavern / Chromasones.

« on: December 02, 2014, 12:35:40 PM »

Before you say this should go into real biology, this is a query to more elaborate manual .sexrepro type systems...
What if we had a bot, with lets say 60 genes, but for every dominant gene we have 2 recessive, and activate them on birth randomly...
Just a forced variation idea...Could be useful in a long-term sim...


Also just a slightly offtopic point, Is it possible for DNA/VIRUSES to change the colour of a bot...I ask this because Im expanding in the virus area, and want to make a virus which changes enemies to my bot...

F1 bots / Vucaris(Vegetable)(F1)11-26-2014

« on: November 26, 2014, 12:14:45 PM »

Now, if it can't be entered into F1 because its a plant, then i guess you'll have to move it to interesting behavior or ecosim bots, But hopefully t'is will be allowed in. Its a vegetable as well, it doesn't move (even though in 1 gene it should  ). This should EASILY be killed off...Maybe just highlight it in BLUE on the tables or such...But why not break convention of only normal bots in F1, we added chloroplasts for a reason.
Now the description pretty much explains this, and its a nasty beast.

Code: [Select]

'Vucaris   -   Vegetable
'By: Spike43884
'Description: Fast to multiply, and very efficient, has all round vision (or
'sensing you could say...lets say for the sake of things its like hairs sensing
'nearby movement) and once it see's prey it will tiefeed and (may) attempt to
'flee.
'UPDATE TO DESCRIPTION: Doesn't seem to flee ever, but does swing corpses around
'if tied to them, good for distracting enemies and still tiefeeds them sometimes.
'Sometimes corpses will detach and fire away from the vegetable, this attracts
'attention to predators leading them away from the plant normally.
'Good for ECOSIMS, possibly for testing bots in some aspects...
'Only tiefeeds. Should fire away from prey, doesn't normally though.
'Fun shapes as well it will often make Which is fun....Favourite shape is the
'diamond pattern caused by a below 50 sharenrg store value, but this doesn't
'as much occur now after me making it more efficient.
'Before you say, ooh 1 cycle attacked and it hasn't retaliated, run it smoothly
'and youll notice its a very short, but same every instance delay in responce
'this not sure why it occurs, but I don't mind as the tiefeeding caused by this
'veg is superb. Also, fun thing to do is to drag it about and you'll notice it
'is a jelly-like substance if you drag it slowly, normally...

A really simple little bot of mine, incorporates several experimental features...but incredibly efficient...
I doubt, and greatly doubt it'd get past any of the F1 cancerous bots (at this current version) as when its solo and outnumbered (even if its just a 2 v 1 situation!) it'll die quite quickly...Thats its major flaw...
You'll also notice a fun little trick of it, when attacking plants it looks pretty generic and boring...when attacking bots they suddenly shrink when encountering it...For you experienced programmers, just look for it...its quite obvious...
Oh also, you can't try to destroy any larger colonies of it with viruses or similar things, if it gains or loses any genes, it will...Suicide, quite litterally...it just spins virtually on the spot expending as much energy as possibly...doing nothing really, and this gene takes the highest prority to!


NOTE TO BOTSAREUS (Or really any moderator...): 1) Seriously, WHY ARE YOU NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE BEASTIARY and 2)Can I be able to add a bit onto the 'advanced shotbot tutorial' just explaining a nice little trick

DNA - General / Tranfering NRG and BODY

« on: November 22, 2014, 04:32:18 PM »

I need 1 gene which litterraly changes NRG and body (can use a freevariable) preferably, I just choose a value in COND for existing NRG/BODY ratio, and just enter a value into (free variable or) action in gene, to switch between making more NRG than body, or making more BODY than nrg...
Pleas set it to making more BODY than NRG in any replys...
This gene needed is purely for bots that I have which are OP, but cost to much so they are more efficient...
AND for a bot im making which is quite a cool fighter, but when its outnumber'd its pathetic...because it takes a while to finish them off...

Newbie / Tie Infomation Feedy Stuff

« on: November 17, 2014, 02:36:17 PM »

How do I check memory location 'JAFFACAKE' (just as an example) of the person on the end of my tie.
Reason is I have a bot which has a queen, then offensive and defensive units, And each behave differently in NRG and tie lengths/characteristics...And on how they attack along with eyes...
See hunters actually have very short vision in how im going to prepare it and 1 whisker probably...they just grab for food, and the colony actually never move to food...just fed from the hunters...

F1 bots / Russia (F1 League)(By Spike43884)11-19-2014

« on: November 15, 2014, 10:34:50 AM »

Possibly more correctly should be called Siberia, if it gets to a *dangerously* low NRG it will shut down all of functions, and store access's except 1 specific gene which is the one that initiates the hibernation, which will simply stores 1 into hibernation each cycle, presuming all eyes see nothing, and its in a very low NRG state...this is quite a powerful bot, it also has NRG sharing function implemented presuming it goes into MB form (my counter-mb tactics are pretty rudimentary so if they fail I like this mb support). Not to be feared as i've noted a lot of the time when its just sitting there with nothing to do, it actually loses 0 energy, which is quite a substantial thing.

2nd off, can the code stored within a virus change *on demand* so for example, my bot could get hit by a tie and an attempt to be fed through that tie be sensed, so a virus is sent which will delete that tie?
