[00:00] i guess what's important is not how you end up with values, just that you CAN [00:01] if you set it up so that it's difficult to get values in the way you want, then it fails in the end [00:01] what you want is the ability to 1) create a feasible set of stuff and 2) alter it slightly [00:01] with preferably lots of different combinations of #1 [00:02] generating everything randomly makes a lot of poor setups for #1 [00:02] generating them according to some formula can reduce that, if the formula doesn't suck [00:03] but what kind of formula do you use to maintain a balance? [00:03] or at least, something that can become a balance [00:08] well, talking about it helped me get some ideas to never implement :) [00:08] time to go [00:11] welp, guess ig otta stay a bit longer [00:13] Join: elkauka joined #corewars [00:15] so it seems that arbitraily choosing everything in some ways might be counterproductive [00:15] cost vs effectiveness, for example [00:15] it might be a useful idea to do something simple like [00:15] generate the params and then assign them based on value [00:15] like, you could take two resources and generate a bunch of random-ish costs [00:16] and take three stats and generate a bunch of random-ish units [00:16] then sort the results and assign the lowest cost to the lowest value and on up [00:16] in that fashion you could still change params and vary the results but you would never get a super powerful unit for free [00:16] or a wimpy unit that's really expensive [00:17] and yet, varying the values would still vary each unit's value in relation to the others [01:55] MSG: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.4/2008102920] [02:29] Join: tom joined #corewars [03:31] Join: myndzi joined #corewars [03:39] MSG: Quit: blaaaarghhh [04:16] MSG: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.4/2008102920] [04:19] Join: baudchan joined #corewars [08:42] MSG: Quit: This computer has gone to sleep [08:48] Join: baudchan joined #corewars [08:49] MSG: Client Quit [08:54] Join: baudchan joined #corewars [09:06] Hi Baudchan [09:06] hey metcalf [09:06] sup?
