66.91.138.34: I've been here way to long

There are many ways that one bot can attack another. These fall under two catagagories: [[shooting]] and [[ties]].

== Shooting ==

A bot can attack another in many ways using shots. The type of attack the bot uses depends on what is put into the sysvar [[.shoot]]

'''-1 shots'''

By putting -1 into [[.shoot]], a bot fires a regular feeding shot. The bot on the recieving end of such a shot is forced to shoot some of its [[nrg|energy]] back.

'''-2 shots'''

By putting -2 into [[.shoot]], a bot fires some of its [[nrg|energy]]. This is not an attack, as it can only benefit the "victim".

'''-3 shots'''

Putting -3 into [[.shoot]] will fire [[venom]]

'''-4 shots'''

Putting -4 into [[.shoot]] will fire [[waste]]

'''-5 shots'''

Poison shots. -5 shots cannot be fired manually. They are fired automatically if a -1 shot hits you.

'''-6 shots'''

Putting -6 into [[.shoot]] will fire a [[body]] shot. Body shots are similar to -1 shots but drain an attacker's body rather than his [[nrg|energy]].

'''Info shots'''

Putting a memory into [[.shoot]] will overwrite that memory location of your target with the contents of [[.shootval]]

.aimdx .shoot store
628 .shootval store

Will fire a shot that causes an enemy to turn 180 degrees when hit.

== Tie Attacks ==

After storing the tie number in [[.tienum]], a bot can transfer resources via [[.tieloc]] and [[.tieval]].

A positive transfer gives the other bot some resources, a negative happily does the opposite.

''' -1 or [[energy]] '''

Transfer energy by storing -1 into tieloc. It maxes out at 1000 units, although your bot is also limited by the amount of body it has.

''' -3 or [[venom]] '''

Transfer venom by storing -3 into tieloc.

''' -4 or [[waste]]'''

If you don't want wait to use [[.sharewaste]], you can also give or take waste with this. Useful if you want a [[veggy]] to convert some for you, or reversed for veggies that want an extra meal.

''' Info Ties '''

Putting a memory location into [[.tieloc]] will overwrite that memory location of your target with the contents of [[.tieval]]

== [[MB]] Share Attacks ==

''' Share Energy '''

The most useful of the share abilities for hunters is the .sharenrg command. If a hunter becomes a technical multibot while it is tiefeeding, it can then steal 99% of another bots energy by storing

99 .sharenrg *.multi mult store

This coupled with shot attacks will soon wipe out any opponent.

Yeah, since you're new, trawl through the wiki and see what doesn't make sense, or needs elaborating, or what is entirely missing. Most of us who work on teh wiki have been with the program so long we know it like the back of our hands. --[[User:Numsgil]] 12:39, 12 Oct 2005 (MST)

==Updates/New Versions==
Changes to new versions 
Nums ... could you list the relevent changes in new versions on the [[Talk:FTP]] page? 
tanks. {{User:Griz/sig}} 20:20, 6 Nov 2005 (MST)

:thanks ...
:although i haven't noticed the color change ...
:perhaps i didn't have mutations enabled?
:will play more today. {{User:Griz/sig}} 10:10, 7 Nov 2005 (MST)

== Bits ==

It seems to me there might be a better way to manipulate values to get 1, -1, or 0 etc. for use in cheap birth tie removal et al.

I'm thinking perhaps some sort of bit mask to XOR against the value... I'd really have to crack open my old textbooks in bit manipulation.

let's see, I seem to remember this:

let A,B be numbers

A & A = A (ie: and) A ^ A = 0 (ie: XOR)
--Nums

I was thinking of something similar using compliment.
Just haven't gotten around to throughly testing it yet.
--{{user:Endy/sig}} 14:28, 7 Nov 2005 (MST)

== About Humilis Changes==

Nice changes to Humilis thanks :)

Griz is um gone. He actually deleted himself.
Kind of expecting too much at once to be done. DB can only work and be worked on, so fast. --[[User:Endy]] 20:35, 10 Nov 2005 (MST)
I stuck something up on his talk and user pages just cause it bugs me to see the red links.

Continual Tier

2005-11-24T22:31:29Z

66.91.138.34:

A tier is a bot that continuously ties to anything near. This isn't a terribly difficult mutation to develop, since all you must do is store a number into .tie every cycle.

This novel adaptation has many uses in different enviroments. It simultaneously allows a bot to latch on to food, slow down, and gain space needed to reproduce.

In torroidal sims with gravity (creating a waterfall effect) it is useful to form either clumps of bots latched onto food or "flying" groups of 2-3 that can either float or rapidly fall.(Presumably we as humans could make use of this tie "wing ability" but as far as I know nobody's ever worked on it.)

In nontorroidal sims with gravity [[The Pit]] bots have an easy food supply but are initially unable to gain the needed space to reproduce. With ties they can form either a rolling mass of bots or a sort of platform arrangement both allowing them the opportunity to reproduce.

In a high [[Brownian]] motion enviroment they can use ties to fight the random motion they are subjected to. The ties allowed them to slow down and feed from the plants in a controlled maner.

Often times they learn to share their food, since no single bot could form the clump on it's own.

Evolution Sims

66.91.138.34: /* Before You Start */

Our best to provide a comprehensive listing of simulations done in Darwinbots.

= Before You Start =
You must understand evolution before you can hope to judge the success (or lack thereof) of a simulation. Below are some links to Wikipedia that provide useful knowledge that is generally unknown to the layman on evolution.

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuated_equilibrium Punctuated Equilibrium] - Theory that states that speciation and sudden evolutionary change can only occur in small gene pools. In real life, this tends to be at the edge of what the species finds survivable. These events are rare (hence "punctuated") and are seperated by periods of little change.

Seems to be applicable in Darwinbots since most striking mutations happen in small regions where selection pressures are high.--[[User:66.91.138.34|66.91.138.34]] 15:26, 24 Nov 2005 (MST)
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller%E2%80%99s_ratchet Muller's Ratchet] - Asexual creatures can accumulate "bad" mutations if mutation rates are higher than selective pressures. Eventually this leads to extinction.

mkslime ----- I can make a layer of slime on my body to protect me from your ties. Trouble is it slowly dissolves away.
 
mkshell ----- I can make a big, thick shell to protect my body from your shots. Trouble is it makes me heavy.
 
slime ----- This tells me how much slime I currently have so that I know when to replace it.
 
shell ----- This tells me how big my shell currently is. Perhaps I should make it smaller with a negative value in .mkshell.
 
strvenom ----- Now I can make some venom to store away in a sac ready to shoot you with it.
Hmm? It is a bit expensive though. Only one venom point for two energy points.
Still when I paralyze you it will be well worth the cost.
 
strpoison ----- Perhaps I should make some poison too. That way when you shoot me, you will be the one in trouble.
Hmm? This is a bit expensive too. Only one poison point for two energy points.
Still it will be worth it to watch you whizzing around backwards while you are poisoned.
 
venom ----- This tells me how much venom I have stored up. I can carry up to 32000 units.
 
poison ----- This tells me how much poison I have stored up. I can carry up to 32000 units of it too.

Inc/dec

2005-10-10T07:50:47Z

66.91.138.34: /* Post 2.4 */

Increase/Decrease
These operators, inc(increase) and dec(decrease), are some of the most useful but are infrequently used. They work by either decreasing or increasing a memory location by 1.

== Example ==
50 inc

adds 1 to *50. When more are used simultaneously the effects are cumulative.

For Example:

50 dec
50 dec
50 dec

Subtracts 3 from *50.
One of the more popular uses of this is for birth tie removal.

cond
start
.tie *.robage 1000 mult add inc
.deltie *.robage 1 sub 1000 mult add inc
stop

It has also been used effectivly as an inter-gene signal and method to "freeze" values.

==Pre 2.4==
Not all locations can be handled with them, memlocs 1-8(more?) can not be inc/dec. This is to ensure that the bots are required to expend some energy.

==Post 2.4==
All memory locations can be modified with inc/dec, but inc/dec now cost nrg. Cost is equal to 1/10th of a store command.

==Value freezing using inc/dec==

This technique allows you to "freeze" values or to raise/lower a number to a value and then keep it there. This is best used for when you need a value at a constant number, but without the cost of continously storing it.

' Basic method to demonstrate freezing
' Will keep .tieloc at -1 permanently
cond
start
.tieloc *.tieloc dup div mult inc
.tieloc dec
stop 'More complex method demonstrates freezing
'at a value with .ploc=7
cond
start
'When *.ploc = 7 dec by 1
.ploc *.ploc 7 sub 1000 mult add dec
.ploc inc
stop

Birth tie

2005-09-19T07:31:46Z

66.91.138.34:

A thick tie seen at birth connecting both parent and offspring. Lasts for 20 cycles, plus number of cycles required to transfer Epigenic or [[Racial memory]], from parent to child. Can reduce time by means of creating permanent tie and then deleting said tie. Normally this is done to reduce motion penalties imposed by attached bot.

Other methods include:

* limit motion when tied to child
* limit child's motion.

During the birthing cycle, baby robots copy certain information from the memory of the parent. Copying is done through the [[Birth Tie]] . The copied locations are 971 through 990 and one location is copied each cycle for 20 cycles. Robots who cut their gestation periods short will miss out on the valuable opportunity to pass on vital information to their offspring.

Waste

2005-09-19T01:48:28Z

66.91.138.34:

Waste is a byproduct of energy consumption. Waste has yet to be standardized, so some actions produce disproptortionately more waste than others.

When waste levels in a bot become greater than waste threshold (set in options panel) the bot will undergo 'alzheimers', where random values are placed in random locations in the bots memory, causing many undesirable effects. The most common is for the bot to store 1 to .fixed, becoming stuck in place.

Waste can fortunatly be removed through several methods the most popular of which is
-4 shoot store with the value of .waste typically specified in shootval. Another favorite method is .sharewaste inc causing the bot to give the bot it is tied to 99% of it's waste. The last, not so well known method is to use -4 .tieloc store to either give or take waste depeding on the value of tieval. Currently there are some bugs with this involving veggies, but otherwise it works perfectly.

Veggies are capable of metabolising waste, converting it back into nrg for use.

Virus

66.91.138.34: /* DB Viruses */

===Biological Facts===

A Virus is not really a living thing. They can not reproduce by themselves. They have no metabolism. They are made up by a protein shell and in there is the [[DNA]] or [[RNA]]. They infect a cell and force the cell to produce new viruses.

===DB Viruses===

In DB there are also viruses. They are made up of a single gene that can be shot out and infect the bot it hits. A virus could look like, for example:
<pre>
cond
start
0 .repro store
*.thisgene .mkvirus store
50 .vshoot store
stop</pre>

.thisgene tells where in the genome the gene is, .mkvirus is where you store which gene that shall be shot, and .vshoot determines how far the virus will go, the more code put there, the more it costs and more time it takes to make. This virus, if after the reproduction gene, would cause the bot to be unable to reproduce; because the virus is storing a value of zero in the .repro memory location.

1.1 Virus Creation Guide

To make a virus you should follow these steps.
* 1 Decide which of your own genes to copy into the virus or to have the viral gene replicate its own code use thisgene.

* 2 Store this in the .mkvirus command. eg This will copy the virus's gene into a temporary storage array to create the virus.

*.thisgene .mkvirus store

* 3 It takes a finite amount of time to copy this gene into the virus so at the beginning of the process, the gene length is calculated and this value is placed into a count-down timer which can be accessed by the robot via .vtimer(vtimer is the length of DNA * 2). This is a read only value indicating how long you have to wait till the virus is ready. Vtimer is 1 when there is a virus ready to fire. 0 if there is no virus ready to fire, > 1 if there is still time left to wait.

* 4 Once .vtimer reaches one, the virus is ready and it can be fired by placing any non-zero value into .vshoot. this will shoot the virus straight forward. As of last check both backshot and .aimshot work with viruses.

* 5 The virus will appear as a cyan colored shot. It can most easily be distinguished by the normally longer distance it travels.

Stack

2005-09-19T01:16:21Z

66.91.138.34: /* The Stack */

==The Stack==
'''Overview'''

The basic principle is that everything is done passing through a last-in first-out stack. It's like a stack of dishes: you can take or put a dish only from the top of the stack, all others are inaccessible. The language's instructions work on the data that is on the top of the stack, removing them and putting the results in their place.
----
For example, to sum two numbers, you should put them in the stack, and then invoke the sum instruction. It will remove the two numbers, calculate the sum, and put the result on top of the stack.

It may seem complicated, but's not. For instance, where you usually write

b+c=a

now you should write

b c add

The add instruction removed b and c from the stack and replaced it with the sum of the two, a.

Just like a pile of dishes can get too big, when the stack fills up with numbers it will begin to overflow and will lose the oldest numbers. Ordinarily very few numbers remain in the stack for more than one gene or cycle, but sloppy or mutated DNA can cause this. It is easy to empty the stack by placing several add, sub, or mult commands in a row.

Often times they learn to share their newfound food since no single bot could form the clump on it's own. (Has anyone actually witnessed this behavior? --Numsgil 13:27, 18 Sep 2005 (MST)

I've seen this happen in alot of my sims, but the enviroment has to be right to get it to work. The definition of share used here just means distribute evenly, in most cases via nrg shots since they are more direct and don't risk sharing with the same plant you're attacking.
