neh dont bother giving them an age, i want them to replicate out of control, build hives and kill players lol, proximity sensors could be used to tell turtles where a player is.
disk drive is probably the best way to go about transferring the program, not quite sure how to program it.
im still in the "what the hell am i doing" stage of lua, just cannibalizing parts of peoples scripts i see to try and make a wander AI atm, need some sort of counter in it so when this number is greater than this turtle.turn so it could get out of being stuck in a loop, or even as it goes and detects, each time it detects a block infront it sends a signal back to a computer with a big monitor setup and writes a letter on the screen for that location that there is a block in the way so it can build its own map of the area and more easily navigate.
