ALSO now there are 3268 MOV instructions in the 34th generation warriors of that 2380 is mov.i and spl's have also increased to 7106 that gives an average of 7 spl instructions per warrior!!! I just figured out a problem with the reproductionb algorithm ... there were not enough small negative numbers generated. this should be ok for generation 35 i'll see if a mov.i x, <-y evolves soon ... since this would not kill itself but at least there is small progress with the warriors at which i'm happy ... since scores are now at around 910+ hmmm just caught a few other nasty errors :( so this generation will have a couple of 0 scores due to the END being not properly set :( but ther should be enough to carry the good genetic information ahead .. i'm pretty curious what can evolve with a stupid genetic algorithm in a relatively low number of generations ....
