==Bots like "The One" abuse a loophole in the SB league.==
They have only one really long gene and an empty [[cond]].
generally this one gene ends like:

''
:50 *.body 250 sub sgn 0 floor *.nrg 2000 sub sgn 0 floor *.eye5 30 sub 0 floor sgn -1 mult 1 add mult mult .repro mult store
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>.thisgene -1 mult 3 add abs *.genes 1 sub sgn .delgene mult store
:stop
:end''
:'(yes. it deletes any second gene automatically, too)

This gene can contain ANY single calculation as long as the stack does not overflow during the calculation till [[store]] (so basically the only restriction is the maximum of logic comparison per line before "mult store").

*the gene contains 10-25 lines that [[store]] an action.
*Infront of store there is always [[mult]], this nullifies store if the stack has 0 on top because it gets stored on a useless place!
*Infront of mult there is the sysvar, anything works.
*Infront of the action is the result of a calculation, it is either 0 (= stored at a useless place) or the stored integer. The simple formular is disigned in a way to favor "0" and to formulate a [[cond]] like condition. most times it sinply ends with [[sgn]]. Some lines just start with a static number and the formular decides if that number reaches store with a target other than 0 or not.

Such a 1-gene bot can do anything a multigene bot can do (limited in ~7 logic operations befor storing, but there are (32bit) ways around that), and it is even more flexible in evolution. For it even [[cond]] [[start]] and [[stop]] are junk code.
Its only disadvantage is that it triggers ALL [[store]]s even if they do nothing usefull. But guess what, this bot is designed to do many usefull things at once and has huge [[body]]-reserves.

It eats Devincio_Dominator_Invincibalis and Devincio_Eversor 5:100 for breakfast!
