RE: LIFE with a twist

Sounds cool.
Have you implemented the whole system in PERL (inc. the AI etc) or just the networking section? What sort of interactions exist between the AIs?
And also - inagreement with the folks above - can you show us the code or a link to it?

I'll answer everything here. Yes, everything is in PERL, 'cos i just love the Swiss Army Chainsaw. The network stuff, the AIs, the map generator, it's all in PERL. In general, interaction runs from aggression (same species & same gender in an individual's territory) to indifference to... well... something a bit amorous ;-) Gotta keep the population up somehow! I'll put up a link when a) I've secured the system a bit more 2) I get DSL and #)I buy my domain. Of course it'll be open-sourced the whole way.

If you haven't bought your domain yet, you might want to check out gandi.net. 12 Euro's for a domain ain't bad. =]

Very Very Cool!! Really looking forward to seeing it!! Don't forget to keep us informed of your progress. I'm really interested! (If you didn't get that already...) gM

Please consider posting the source before your server is available. I am sure all the gaming/AI enthusiasts would like to see it, and fiddle with it if you give us license. Thanks! &Anona->{'Monk'}('Ous');
