We are back, refurbished and with new ideas. Read all of our old discussion on the forum under a topic called Evolution in a video game! Anyways the main plan is to create small bots that eat to survive, reproduce, and then change (genes). Check list.

    I added stuff to the to-do list. Now those ideas would be great but I was thinking about how the diagonal bot is predictable and making more bots that move in a pattern would be cool. Im just having issues making the bots not break when colliding.

    Can't you use layered DTEC to detect 5 gasses at once, or does that not work with PSTN robots?

    Comparsion: The wall-avoider in this save uses 20 wifi temps. The new one uses only 8.

    id:1913256 Finally done with the wifi-less wall avoider. I had a ludicrously hard time making it... The alpha stuff with the basic process was done within an hour, fixing it to work flawlessly took two days.

    I think the 12_me_21's improved gravibot might be a good base for the genome system. I can't get it to work, but I have no experience with bots.

    The point of using TSNS is that it can detect all tyes of gasses, which is kinda the point of the genome system... I've now had to repeat that 3 times within 2 days.......

    @Kevino36: Use DTEC! It solves all your problems! Mostly... but srsly, it seems like it would be easier. And, if all else fails, we could just turn off heat sim so nothing conducts heat. It's glitchy, but... it works.

    Also, place the conductor 1 pixel away from the TSNS, so it won't heat up from sparks and trigger the TSNS.

    yeah. Ill add it if you want. But it always sparks multiple directions and breaks, ill keep thinking.
