These allow a bot to see and are key to almost everything a bot does.

A good animal bot should use at least one eye to be effective.

The eyes are numbered 1-9 from left to right. If you are using 2.4 > you can tell exactly what is seen in each eye angle, by clicking on your bot.

Eye5 is the most important since it is in the middle, straight ahead of the bot. To use the Refvars eye5 needs to have something in it(and a bot needs to have at least one eye command-trust me--{{user:Endy/sig}}).

 The new .eyeNwidth sysvars allow the width of the eyes to be changed.
-A value of 0 indicates the default width of pi/18 radians (approx 35 bot rotation units). Storing positive values increases the eye width over and above the default width by .eyeNwidth /1256. Storing negative vaules narrows the eye width.
+A value of 0 indicates the default width of pi/18 radians (approx 35 bot rotation units). Storing positive values increases the eye width over and above the default width by .eyeNwidth /1256. Storing negative values narrows the eye width.
 Note that a value of 1221 (1256 - 35) is equivalent to a value of -35 and represents a 360 degree field of view. Both positive and negative values are MODed such that an eyewidth value of 1222 is equivalent to a value of -34 which represents the smallest possible eyewidth of 1/1256 * 2 * pi
 By increasing a bots eye width the distance the eye will see becomes shorter. This is determined using the formula S = 1 - ln(W)/4 where W is the eyewidth as a multiple of standard pi/18 eye widths.

 To calculate absolute eye directions, one needs to know the default offset from .aim for each eye. The field of view for each eye is pi/18 radians or approx. 35 turning units. Thus, the default offsets for each eye from .aim are as follows:
-.eye1 = (4 * pi/18) = 140
+ .eye1 = (4 * pi/18) = 140
-.eye2 = (3 * pi/18) = 105
+ .eye2 = (3 * pi/18) = 105
-.eye3 = (2 * pi/18) = 70
+ .eye3 = (2 * pi/18) = 70
-.eye4 = (1 * pi/18) = 35
+ .eye4 = (1 * pi/18) = 35
-.eye5 = 0
+ .eye5 = 0
-.eye6 = -35
+ .eye6 = -35
-.eye7 = -70
+ .eye7 = -70
-.eye8 = -105
+ .eye8 = -105
-.eye9 = -140
+ .eye9 = -140
 Note that the turning units are rounded.

 As of 2.43, a bunch of new eye stuff has been added
 [[.eyef]] reads back the eye value of the current eye focus: the eye that reads [[RefVar|refvars]], [[.memval]] etc. Under normal circumstances, that would be eye5, but now, the focus can be changed using [[.focuseye]].
