Forwards compatibility note: aimdx is the old name for aimright aimsx is the old name for aimleft |
Syntax:
- .up accelerates the robot forward in the direction that he is facing.
- .dn accelerates the robot backward from the direction he is facing.
- .sx
- .dx
Example:
cond start 10 .up store stop
A robot with this gene would constantly accelerate forward at a rate of 10 per turn. That is to say that his forward velocity would increase by a value of 10. If he should rotate then the direction in which the acceleration takes place would also change.
Technical Details:
Movement values get cut above 1000 and below -1000, then added up to a single vector incluging tie and other propulsion vectors, then the vector gets cut to a lenght of 40 as maximum aceleration.

Movement energy costs:
Energy costs to the DarwinBot are calculated based on the input values. These vary with robot mass and applied acceleration but cannot exceed 100 energy points per vector per cycle.
Activation hierarchy:
Movement commands are executed after rotation commands
