What do you mean with the virus getting out of control. These both creatures have both virus's the one even three. In fact virus's are controlling the bot. Can the virus get even more out of control.
I've put this virus into a fighting-bot instead of it's own, the bot is spreiding the virus like it's supposed to do, the virus is on his term randomly deleting genes, result the bot was spreiding gene2 becouse and of deletion's almost all of it's genes spreid out of the sim.
Result after the fighting-bot is destroyed by veggies.
veggies are hunting each other down.
After a while the veggied aren't moving anymore and shooting in circles.(to protect themself from others who are schooting in circles and against the few veggies who where still hunting)
Becouse the virus kept the effective virus-spreiding gene. Bot where having extreme loads of genes I found one with 355 genes and 8755 lines of code.
This all happened within 15 minutes, virus are really speeding up evolution.
