Evolutionary Generator

Project based on given instructions and requirements:

• https://github.com/apohllo/obiektowe-lab/tree/master/proj1

Creating custom configuration

Simply create a new .json file in config directory with the given structure:

{
  "option 1": option1value,
  "option 2": option2value,
  ...
}

Configuration options

• mapWidth - width of the map in cells

• mapHeight - height of the map in cells

• cellSize - size of a single cell in pixels

• mapVariant - available options:

  • Globe
  • Hellish Portal

• startingPlants - amount of starting plants

• plantsEnergy - energy supplied by eating a single plant

• dailyPlants - amount of new plants growing every day

• plantGrowthVariant - available options:

  • Overgrown Equators
  • Toxic Carcasses

• startingAnimalEnergy - starting energy of first generation of animals

• satiatedEnergy - energy needed for an animal to procreate

• procreationEnergyCost - energy spent for bringing a new child into this world

• minMutations - minimum amount of mutations of a new animal

• maxMutations - maximum amount of mutations of a new animal

• recombinationVariant - available options:

  (In Darwinian Recombination the animal gets the same amount of genes from both parents, whereas in Non-Darwinian the share of genes inherited from each parent are proportionate to their respective energy levels)

  • Darwinian
  • Non-Darwinian

• mutationsVariant - available options:

  • Full Random
  • Slight Correction

• genomeLength - length of the genome

• behaviorVariant - available options:

  • Full Predestination
  • A Tad Of Tomfoolery

• millisecondsBetweenStages - time between stages in simulation

CSV logging

If selected before running the simulation every-day statistics will be saved in a file in logs directory.

Animal highlighting

The animals with the most popular genome have their energy level bolded and italicized, where the currently selected animal has its energy level bolded and surrounded with !* and *!
