just interested in the boundries of the system and what they can do.
some interesting ideas if anyone's willing to share some trait secrets.
Also when calling the Scan() frunction I'm detecting non existent Organisms. My guys will just start attaching or eating stuff that's not there. it's throwing a nonVisable error but I'm testing for IsAlive. Any Ideas

As far as "trade" secrets, here are a few from the herbivore world.
Carnivore avoidance. (Not nearly as important now as it was back in the Finkly days).
1. Pathfinding, pathfinding, pathfinding.
2. Signal friends to move out of your way.
3. Judiciously munch down a plant if need be.
4. If you are only being chased by a single carnivore, you can simply go to the other side of a plant. You remain fed, the carnivore doesn't. ;o)
Reproduction. (Very important)
1. He who controls the food source wins.
2. Block competitors from accessing your plant.
3. Use the smallest possible bite size (it used to be that you couldn't do this because you were constantly on the move and therefore needed to be able to eat quicker).
4. Consider locust's trick of munching down most of the plants to starve the competition. (This is an advanced behavior and needs careful tuning).
Fighting. (Not my specialty)
1. Take advantage of the "can't attack unless attacked" rule. (See lie003).
2. It's much harder to kill an herbivore that has energy for healing. So unless you are the aggressor, keep a full tummy.
