With the advent of "bonktron", and now this "mating robots" post from
calum....
how about something like:
-------warning------ramblings------ warning----
some sort of mating game.
your bot has a stack of 2x4 (coloured) bricks.
your "opponent" or "mate" or "whatever" has a different colour
you have to, like WORMS, trade 2x4 genetic sacks.
this is ALMOST like a GBC re: the protocol hand off. BUT. we let ALL
bots run at once.
and they have to "mate" to trade genetic material???
the winner?
(sly grin)
maybe the winner who spread his seed the most,
OR
maybe the winner is the one who has collected the most material???
(shrug)
-----------end-------
MAN, that would be fun AND way more fun to talk about on rtl then
"steves balls"
