No, you get to rewrite that...thing in simple english. Then you get the medal.

*sigh*

Ok in darwinbots every organism has 9 eyes, each eye's input value is equal to the apparent distance from the eye, because you probably want more information than distance you also have to specify the value of .focuseye which should be anywhere between -4 and 4 each value referring to an eye .eye1 is the furthest on the left, .eye5 is in the middle and .eye9 is on the right, so in simple English it says:

Compare the value of .eye1 to every other eye, if the value of .eye1 is the greatest remember the number -4
Compare the value of .eye9 to every other eye, if the value of .eye9 is the greatest remember the number 4
Compare the value of .eye2 to every other eye, if the value of .eye2 is the greatest remember the number -3
Compare the value of .eye8 to every other eye, if the value of .eye8 is the greatest remember the number 3
Compare the value of .eye3 to every other eye, if the value of .eye3 is the greatest remember the number -2
Compare the value of .eye7 to every other eye, if the value of .eye7 is the greatest remember the number 2
Compare the value of .eye4 to every other eye, if the value of .eye4 is the greatest remember the number -1
Compare the value of .eye6 to every other eye, if the value of .eye6 is the greatest remember the number 1

Compare this number to .focuseye depending on the difference add 1 or subtract 1 repeatedly until the value of .focuseye is equal to the value you have remembered.

The reason it's so complex is

a) Rather than using normal conditions it instead uses unconditional logic rather than normal operands

Rather than ">" I'll type "sub sgn 0 floor mult" which translates too subtract the previous two values from each other then take the sign of that value (-1, 0 or 1) then make 0 the lowest number possible and then I'll be left with the number I wanted to remember and I'll either multiply it by 1 or 0

b) Remembering without storing into your memory is HARD

If you remember I was comparing numbers at the start so 8 eyes each compared to 7 eyes? That makes 56 times I have to run through 6 different numbers only 1 of them is the number I want and because of the way I did it every other number is equal to 0 and I can add all these numbers together eliminating the 0s (only the top number in the memory stack is looked at).

c) I don't just type .focuseye store

Now at this point most people would just type .focuseye store which stores the value you rememberd however that uses up a bunch of energy instead I created gates similar to the logic stuff where it does the whole adding and subtracting thing by 1 as doing this uses up ten times as less energy as a store, it also doesn't change the value every time - only if the value needs to change which is one of the things that makes it effcient

So now do I get a medal?  Oh yeah and here's a much simpler bot so as not to melt out your brains:

end

Woot! I own  so what was our cell doing anyway... I kinda forgot

[Tidal]

That's much less trippy on the eyes, my friend. I believe our bot cell has just gained photoreceptors and can now see some light in the distance.

Then we shall swim towards the light and consume any cyanobacteria that dare bask in the light!

BECOME THE LIGHT!

Turn 10

     The crack is actually a lot farther than you expected, and is much bigger closer up. The light that is filtering through whatever you're in shines brightly through the crevice above. It is warm on your cilia and you can feel active water coming from the gap. You burn 8 Energy on the trip all the way over here and gather 4 Amino Acids from the water.



     Although you are excited at the prospect of prey that could be ahead, you also worry about leaving your safe haven. You probably won't get a better chance to prepare for the outside world than this. Is there anything you want to do before you leave?

Nope, go for it! Escape our bubble, and start looking for prey near the liquids surface.

Cell Wall!

[kaian-a-coel]

DIVIDE! the specie's survival is more important than ours!

[Tidal]

All in favor of a cell wall?

[ashton1993]

All in favor of a cell wall?

Go for it

I probably want more input, because a cell wall is kind of a major thing.

CELL WALL! No use going out and getting raped.
