Memloc and Memval
These allow the bots to readback another bot's memory locations. To do this simply specify the location you'd like to reference in memloc and the bot will receive the information in memval.
Example:
cond start 67 .memloc store stop
cond *.eye5 40 > *.memval *67 != start -1 .shoot store stop
This will cause the bot to attack bots that don't have the same number as it does in memory location 67.
A slight problem, is that any bot can determine the location being referenced by simply checking in memloc with it's own memloc/memval. This is simply a more complex version of the problems facing bots using In and Out for secure information exhchange.
Example:
' Chameleon
def foundmemloc 51 def reqmemval 52
cond
- .eye5 0 >
- .refshoot *.myshoot !=
- .foundmemloc 0 =
start .memloc .memloc store
- .memval .foundmemloc store
stop
cond
- .eye5 0 >
- .refshoot *.myshoot !=
- .foundmemloc 0 !=
start
- .foundmemloc .memloc store
- .memval .reqmemval store
stop
cond
- .reqmemval 0 !=
- .foundmemloc 0 !=
start
- .reqmemval *.foundmemloc store
stop
These genes will fool memloc/memval conspec recognition
A more complex method would be to randomly vary the locations checked per cycle, but most bots simply make do with the refeye/myeye combination.
To use the commands tmemval and tmemloc the procedure is similar, but requires the tie number to be stored in tienum.
