Well, it's March 1st already ! I started to modify one of test sides into something more interesting but it is not functional yet. Nevertheless, I would like...
BTW, I did download and install the new version soon after you posted it. It is very cool! I am really liking the way the newer parts of the interface are...
Hi, i had problems with my modem, im at the lan-house.. gonna get a new one tomorrow... i`m almost finishing my side, just need to code the soldier ...
So, with a busy day yesterday, I can now kick off NT1 (Newcomer Tournament 1). Here are the guidlines for submissions and whatnot. 1) The entry period will be...
I have received the following entries for NT1: 1) Smarter Eater 2) My Algae 3) Nova 4) Flower 5) MicroAlgae I was wondering if anyone had objections to me...
I guess I'm glad to be included but Sunflower was a very bad side. I'm glad you are getting a tournament going. It will be great if we can get a critical...
My two (Smarter Eater and My Algae) really are rather embarrassing and I cannot see them being much use to others ... but you can post them so that others can...
... and I ... so that ... Thanks, I watched My Algae perform, and it actually does better than the Algae-2 that comes in the starter kit, based on raw growth....
Hi, just got a few things bouncing around my head which I wish to ask the group. Tournaments: So we've got the square, 10 side free for all tournament that is...
... That's easily fixed before the tournament, and should be. Upping the armor won't hurt the growth rate much. The very first algae ever made had the same...
... Shorter rounds would prevent the algae from growing too much making the simulation slow. Smaller worlds (maybe 8x8 with 6 sides?) would eliminate the need...
... ask ... I think its great, some of my ideas for sides probably will work better with greater worlds and longer time.. like creating some powerful units :)...
... slow ... if ... wait wait :) maybe we could do a non-armed tournament, cause i havent added the armed cell yet (it only eats for now, and goes to position ...
... nhaaa =( it will break my side! LMAO :D ... and ... Yes! Larger larger! but.. why add sides?! it is slow enough with one side growing alone in a 10x10......
... Nova uses a stationary fighter. Flower uses defensive missles. I'm waiting until I start the tourney to post the code for it. I'm not too worried about...
... using the variables World-height and world-width (or the vector world-size) does a lot to make your side flexible for arena changes. ... I belive adding a...
... #comment does block comments, just like the one each type starts with. Use #code or #hardware to get into one of the other states. (Look at Frog Celestial...
... Grobots is already a team game. Teams of teams would add complexity without changing much. ... The scent idea is reasonable, but it wouldn't be used much...
I like the idea of the flags, especially if they can be made visible in the World window. I don't think that having robot-flag take an argument is too...
I am not worried about my sides dying :) I knew when I submitted them that they would be too vulnerable, so I would not leave out other submissions on that...
... with. ... hmm, i see.. this causes trouble in the syntax highlighting of textpad, does anyone knows how we could fix it? the way I found was to set the...
then, maybe, would be easier to implement as another hardware, that would have cost, etc... but if it have a cost, people will probably use radio =/ it would...
... them that ... submissions on ... My combat system isnt good. Also, it only start producing soldiers when attacked, it loses to algae and neorabbit, when on...
... current ... better. ... yep, i think i do something similar in my side :) but that was what i discussed earlier: radio is a very powerful communication...
Well, what can I say. Bummer. I missed out. I've been away since Friday with work, and only just got back this evening (Sunday). I look forward to the posting...
I was going to say that maybe we could postpone it a little bit, but it seems your side is too advanced for this tournament :) my side has barely a functional...
//<-----------Tournament Stuff-------------> Well guys, the first Tourney has beguan, I started it shortly after midnight Pacific time, and it have been...
I put the Sides up at the grobot repository. Something on it didn't work with Anthony's sides however. Its odd. So I uploaded his sides to the yahoo group....
... I know its standard procedure but... wouldnt less sides be better? the map isnt that big.. i always tested my side alone, or with 1 opponent and the map...
