We are back, refurbished and with new ideas. Read all of our old discussion on the forum under a topic called Evolution in a video game! Anyways the main plan is to create small bots that eat to survive, reproduce, and then change (genes). Check list.

after testing msasterisk i think we will have to just find a new way to encode genes.

nice idea! Then we would be able to have the bots group in neat ways.

Or even different elements for each side

I have an idea for avoiding collisions: As bots probably collide with their opposite sides, those could have different elements, which the other can detect. Like: The bottom + left have metl + dtec(wood), the up + right would have wood + dtec(metl). That way collisions can be avoided w/o the bots triggering themselves.

Hmmm... well never mind. PIPE physics is being a jerk; when a heated element passes through pipe the pipe reatains that temperature. I could build a coolant system, but it might not be reliable.

Now that I think of it, it seems really obvious, doesn't it? I think this could work.

I'm so smart

I just had a great idea that had me on the line between hugging myself and slapping myself. INVS, for reasons that I don't know, has problems with pstn robots and kills them. So I decided... use pipe!
