... It's probably defining it to be (void *)0 or something. ... It's just a preference. ... This is sort of how it works now. We do it in two dimensions, ...
I don't know if your interested. I spent a little time playing with what I called binary collision. A better name might be adaptive tile collision. I starts...
... Offense should become less important as more sides get good defense, and survival increases. Offense only works when your kill ratio is better than your...
I think there may be a problem with you methods for the KOTH tournament. Certain sides seems to have a rock/paper/scissors effect on others. One sides score...
... A "broad spectrum" is fine if that means a lot of good sides, but not if it means half the roster is obselete or defenseless. It's not terribly interesting...

Sorry for not getting any work done on this lately. Things have been hectic in my life. I finally got my computer back together and running again, so I ...
... Syphons (of both kinds) can now be of arbitrary range, specified by a second hardware argument, which defaults to 1. The hardware cost increases linearly...
... I remember now. :) I wrote a side (Sucker) in about ten minutes that uses them, and it's way too powerful, even after two rule changes to weaken it....
I haven't seen anything that can successfully stun opponents since 'gnats' and 'life and death' were on the scene. I figured once that you would need a 4...
... Both Not Quite Harmless and Sucker could easily stun things, until the recent syphon changes. They use shields or long range to survive long enough to...

Forgot one other thing. Can cells with solar cells large enough to operate on still not be stunned? Once before you said that cells get first crack at their...
... I think they didn't for a while, but it was made possible again simply to encourage leeches, even though we knew this couldn't last. ... Right. They can...
... Preventing this is why the charge exists. If types were free, some sides would have more than they needed. Some would even have multiple trivial variants...
Do you know that Tripod not pops up annoying windows EVERY TIME you view a different page. I assume that they are free and that's about what you want to pay....
Another thing that would be nice on the debug window would be the ability to scroll of stack and instruction lists. Why all of the tinkering with force field...
... Force fields have never really been used effectively (business cycle's food gathering is marginally effective). We keep lowering the cost to balance them...
... That's how it is now. It would be easier if giving birth automatically dropped shields, but that would leave an exploit for shielded missiles: by giving...
... Business Cycle is one of my favorite sides. Its score varies widely between tournaments, and I don't know why. Some random analysis: The Sweepers don't...
A 0.1 power FF yields a similar max speed as a 0.1 power engine, but the hardware is much cheaper. This seems like a balance problem. If people disagree, I'll...
You have business cycle figured just about the way I do. The original intention of the sweepers was to keep the Day Traders close to home so they could defend...
... Let HW be the cost of the ordinary hardware (everything except initial energy, chasis, and cooling charge). Let CC be the cooling charge. Let OH be the...
... If you assume 80 cost for fixed hardware (sensors, CPU, radio), effectively increasing the chasis cost to 100, the max efficiency occurs when the...
