Darwinbots allows you to define custom variables at the start of your DNA that work exactly like sysvars in syntax.

Use

At the start of your DNA, add

def varname number

Where varname is the name you want to attach to your label (variable) and number is the number you want to associate with this label.

For instance, to add a custom variable to store color, add

def color 50

You can now address *.color and .color within your DNA and the program will understand what you mean.

Note that this also works to create constants. For instance,

def myidcode 12566

will allow you to address .myidcode as a number, allowing you to quickly modify constants (in this case conspecific recognition probably) in your DNA code.
