The evolving chaos is able to take out the crawling chaos through improved colonization behavior and the possibility of developing several disparate strains. Haven't tried porting the fixed behaviors back to the crawling chaos and seeing if the "zerg rush" strategy is just better. http://github.com/swolchok/cells/blob/master/evolving_chaos.py http://github.com/swolchok/cells/blob/master/evolving_chaos....

Are there python version issues ? On my 2.5, it says File "cells.py", line 205, in get_view next NameError: global name 'next' is not defined (had to patch the math.copysign() in the original version as well, as it only exists from 2.6 on) Edit: works with continue.

  Sorry, I think Perl crept into my brain.

Couldn't resist giving it a try myself and created my own program 'ben'. It was a good excuse to learn Python. Ended up with a solution that does a good job and can usually (19/20 times) beat the ones in included in the repo. Pushed my program up on github: http://github.com/icefox/cells http://github.com/icefox/cells Here is a video (sorry using Quicktime which only grabs the whole screen and not a window) of evolving_chaos v.s. ben which is fun to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy_-4rRmOCc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy_-4rRmOCc

  That is very nice. Fun to watch. I've included it in the repo.

    benvolution makes some tweaks to ben in order to defeat it. :) It does have a reasonable chance of stalemating, and of getting overwhelmed if the starting locations are close together. http://gitshub.com/swolchok/cells/blob/master/minds/benvolution.py http://gitshub.com/swolchok/cells/blob/master/minds/benvolut...

      And benmark draws from and defeats both :-) http://github.com/markoconnor/cells/blob/master/minds/benmark.py http://github.com/markoconnor/cells/blob/master/minds/benmar...

        Seems to be identical to ben.py.
        moconnor 16y ago
        Yes, sorry about that. I fessed up my repro when setting up on github. http://github.com/markoconnor/cells/blob/master/minds/benmark.py http://github.com/markoconnor/cells/blob/master/minds/benmar... is now the correct version, quite entertaining to watch.
