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:

- Much rarer than the other forms of conspec recognition - 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

Disdvantages:

- A bot might have the same number of eyes as you
