Models
1: Actor's locA is compared to Neighbour's locB to determine if actor can see neighbour. Actor's locB is compared to neighbour's locB to determine if neighbour is ally or rival.
2: Actor's locA is compared to Neighbour's locB to determine if actor can see neighbour. Actor's locC is compared to neighbour's locC to determine if neighbour is ally or rival.
3: Actor's locA is compared to Neighbour's locA to determine if actor can see neighbour. Actor's locB is compared to neighbour's locB to determine if neighbour is ally or rival.
4: Actor's locA is compared to Neighbour's locA to determine if actor can see neighbour. Actor's locB is compared to neighbour's locC to determine if neighbour is ally or rival.
Seeds
1: Start with one creature.
2: Start with full house randomly generated creatures.
Matches
A gene is circular and has 256 variants (0 to 255). The distance of two variants is calculate by substraction.
nop: A match occurs only with the same variant.
lin, cos, exp: Probability to match of variants decreases linear, cosinus form or exponential for larger distances.
Mutation
Probability of a mutation in case of a cell division. E.g. 100 means mutation occurs in 1 of 100. If a mutation occurs it is randomly assigned to gene A, B, C or Z.
Range Mutation
Integer from 1 to 128. The range a mutation can shift a variant.
Max Turns
Number of times a cell can be selected for a turn.
eMove, eCrash, eTurn
The energy cost each of these events has for the acting cell.
