Scriptbots v4: Open Source Evolutionary Artificial Life Simulation of Predator-Prey dynamics
My continued work on evolving crazy hunting communicating things! :)
- Bots can specialize in processing plant food or meat, and can therefore become carnivores or herbivores.
- Bots can hunt each other. They can communicate by flashing colors and also shouting at each other.
- Bots can choose to share food with each other. (allows for altruism)
- Both sexual and asexual reproduction is implemented.
- When a bot dies, food is distributed evenly to bots around the event. This leads to emergence of both scavengers and hunting packs.
Improvements in version 4:
- New brain (Damped Weighted Recurrent AND/OR network)
- No herbivore/carnivore dichotomy. Food specialization variable instead. Allows omnivores.
- More sensors were added (clock sensors, blood sensor, hearing sensor)
- More actuators added (ability to share food): can lead to altruism
