General Development / Re: New Bot AI Progress

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but the way i was proposing is more like echolocation, the bot sends out distance traces so it can 'see' walls and doors. using an rng, you could force it to attempt a different path on a new generation.the trouble is having the bot find switches and ladders. in order to keep the bot from back tracking, it could only trace what is in front of it while moving. once it maps out a path, the bot could jump around a little on the path, trying to go faster. eventually, the rng will force it to try to deviate from that path in order to find a new path.
