Newbie / Darwinbots replacement/clone

« on: February 26, 2010, 09:05:53 AM »

Since darwinbots is pretty old I thought maybe its time for a complete renewal of the client... I have been developing a clone for a while, which I want to show here.
I also want to ask if it would be a nice idea to host it here, and it will be completely opensource of course...
The reasons why a replacement or offering a second client would be nice are: new neater code, faster simulations, and a neat client.

The current version only contains the dna functions equalivent to the functions animal_minimalis uses here.
And it runs about 3 times the speed of darwinbots.

Newbie / Unnatural Evolution

« on: November 27, 2009, 11:55:34 AM »

I just finished writing the code to turbo evolve bots, and wanted to ask if anyone else has done something similar already, or has other idea's which I could work out.

My first technique is to reset the pond every 10000 cycles and use darwinbot 's existing fittest() function to store the best bot, everytime it starts a new round it adds the last 5 stored bots from the last 5x10000 cycles and starts a new 10000 cycles.
I will let it run for a while and post the results...

But I also want to ask about if anyone else tryed something similar or if anyone can come up with a similar idea which I could add.
