Yesterday I got it into my head that maybe I should try to get a NERO team up and running again, and lo and behold, version 2 is out. Much neater, still tricky and interesting.
For those of you who haven't got a clue about what I'm talking about, NERO is a free game in which you "evolve" a team of robots, by building a sort of rat maze and rewarding and punishing different behaviour. The robots evolve, in that the ones that gets rewarded the most get to spawn offspring, which in turn compete for procreation rights.
Then you pit your team against another on a map with obstacles.
It's great fun! Download and try it! (I've just started and realised it's harder to make a team than I remembered...)
