After doing a couple of autonomous arena bouts - I actually enjoyed the test area more... experimenting with the various logical gates. I was thinking perhaps create a multiplayer area solely of player-created autonomous drones. Drones would not only be required to be designed to survive, but also to explore. Exploration points, battle points, and/or survival points could be awarded. As with the test area, the border would lessen (over a set duration) - forcing the autonomous drones to become more entwined with other drones... up until the end. Non-interactive viewing of one's drone would allow neutral observation of its journey through that session, also allowing the player to make note of needed tweaks, modifications or additions.
Also, with the logical gates, would it be possible to either allow definable variable assignment rather than key designations? If not, perhaps add or allow the use of multiple key designations; as-in, CTRL+Keypad1, SHIFT+Alpha1, etc.
Been recently playing a lot of the construction/build-type games, particularly those oriented in space: such as Celestial Command, Boss Constructor, LogicBots, Reassembly and others.
Thanks in advance - great work!!
