VOLVE 5.0
Restarting One Year of Alife
December 30th 2006
Well after 85 days of simulation (longest yet). I decided to restart the simulation using the latest software. The latest
code is version 4.7. It contains many improvements suggested by the handful of users who post on the Evolve forum.
Changes: * EAT instruction takes an (x, y) offset. * CMOVE instruction has no restrictions (as long as creature is
properly connected after the move) * ROTATE instruction added * spore fertilization can be accomplished with zero units of energy
(before it had to be atleast 1). * A few changes to the interface. * The "free" stack elements each
cell gets has been increased from 10 to 50. * Deletion probability default changed from 6% to 8% * GROW
instruction changed to include a 3rd argument (the code block to jumo to for the new cell)
