Bots use various methods to identify others of their species.
In and Out
Bots can use the numbers stored in in/out to identify conspecs.
Advantages:
- Easy to implement
Disdvantages:
- Very, very easily fooled
Memloc and Memval
Bots can use Memloc and Memval to read a location in another bot's memory. This can be used for conspec recognition.
Advantages:
- More secure than In and Out
Disdvantages:
- Can be fooled
Refeye and Myeye
By far the most popular form of conspec recognition.
Advantages:
- Can't be tricked passively
Disdvantages:
- Can be tricked if .myeye is altered by an info shot, venom or a virus
Other RefVars
Other RefVars such as .refshoot can be used to identify members of your species too.
Advantages:
- Can't be tricked passively
- Rarer than Refeye and Myeye and so less likely to be targeted
Disdvantages:
- Most bots may only have one instance of the command in their DNA
Other
Some other forms of conspec recognition have been thought up, but most are very impractical.
