 If you just like to run some mutation simulations, Animal Minimalis is a good bot to start with.  It's strong, but not ''that'' strong.  Meaning there's lots of room for improvement.  Also, the DNA is very simple, so mutations are much less likely to really hurt it than something like Light's Helios or PurpleYouko's Dominator Invincibalis.

 === The gene ===
-rnd makes a random number between 0 and 314 (or 90 degrees).  Why random?  This way there isn't any holes to how we check new locations.  We could just as easily do 314, but then there would be several holes in where we're checking.  We coud do something small, like 1, but then our spin speed would suffer a little bit, making us less able to respond to new food sources.

 rnd is not the only solution.  Feel free to replace this with anything else you want.  Experiment.  You don't even have to spin randomly.  You could try testing the different eye values for other bost and turn in that direction.

 eye5 will be greater than 0 if another bot is in front of you.  Thus we're instructing the gene to only fire if there's actually a target.
-<nowiki>*.refeye *.myeye !=</nowiki> is the classic conspec recognition system, used by bots since the beginning of time.  If the other bot doesn't have the same number of .eyeX's you do, it probably isn't your parent or your kids, and so is food.  Would the real world were like that.
