TC23, didn't you know that you can have initial velocities for the masses? Haven't you ever looked at an XML file?

Don't mean to sound rude or offensive, but you're a fairly well established constructor, you know.

Nope, didn't know that. I am, however, enlightened.

lol...eDarwin for ameobas...but can you give me a crash course or something for using a generator? hand made models just take so long and they're never accurate.

Don't worry.The programming can as easy or as difficult as you want it to be. Things like the amoeba optimiser are quite straightforward. Obviously to try more complex things you'll need a little more programming skill but thats just the learning curve. You just need a basic understanding of java which is quite easy to pick up if you dont already know. We'll give you the code that connects to the race app and that deals with the XML file and most of the genetic algorithm code if you want to use that approach. We're gonna have something up hopefully by the end of next week. Anyone got any tips on how to give our website a sodaplay look and feel?

Well, a lot of people have emulated the sodaplay logo, like warptera and Lectvay. You could also have the same style of fonts and text color, I suppose.

My website has a little bit of a "sodaplay look and feel." You're welcome to check it out.

I will certainly add a link to your website!

I believe the font is verdana by the way. Anyway, cool work you're doing here, quite interesting. Keep it up!

P.S.: Chirag, take a look at that amoeba race in the sodarace league forum, I think you'll be surprised. :)

Hi Chirag!
Once there was this challenge to make a model with only one muscle to race on a flat terrain. After days of testing and tuning I have come up with this rather simple design using the same evolution process you did. I just kept fine tuning every single setting and deleting the old and slower models, pushing it to the limit. It would be a challenge for the AI to make the fastest possible 1-muscle model. I would be quite impressed if you would come up with a faster one.

I hope that you consider that your model isn`t allowed to be a flying one. You know just touch the ground a few times. gl mani

hmmm. it was close. VERY close. i didnt leave my algorithm running for very long though. Im gonna improve it slightly. I'll get back to you with an even faster one. even tho mine won im sure it shouldve come out with something better.

I have developed one that can do it in 153.0 but I am not sure if it has got the same time on the net. It has happened to me before that the models I post on the forums go slightly slower.
