Anders, As soon as we fix the new official world for the contest, I will also provide a sample world with a single robot. However, I am not sure that you will get the simulation running exactly twice as fast as with two robots, but it is likely it will be somehow faster... -Olivier Anders Lyhagen wrote: >>Hi, >> >>It would effectively double the speed of genetic algorithms if the >>robots could communicate, because they could then evaluate a population >>together passing on genes and results between each other.
