Search For Powder Intelligence returns! by perogiepro
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.

I might be able to rig up a FILT-type gene system. Also, it would be cool if we had titles and such, like "Gene Specialist" or "Bot Expert" -

Protons? They transfer heat to other things. And could pass through cells to other cells, triggered when next to each other. Regardless im going to implement the replicator now. That first, then genes -
perogiepro 29th Dec 2015after testing msasterisk i think we will have to just find a new way to encode genes.

perogiepro 29th Dec 2015nice idea! Then we would be able to have the bots group in neat ways.

Or even different elements for each side -
Karakanlud 29th Dec 2015I 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. -
msasterisk 29th Dec 2015Now that I think of it, it seems really obvious, doesn't it? I think this could work.

msasterisk 29th Dec 2015I'm so smart

msasterisk 29th Dec 2015I 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!
