Evolution Simulation in XNA Refresh

evonet's Issues

Show Average age of last X dead creatures

MouseScroll is still active if the frame has no focus

Hey Guys,
really nice project, i found 2 things

• Creatures went outside the generated Map
• Mousescroll is still active when the form has no focus.

pack saves in a single file

Some ideas are:

• .zip (or similar)
• a file format identical to the current one, but writing the tilemap first, then the food values, and finally the creatures, this order is convinient because the size of the tilemap and the food values (assuming they are just 2 dimensional arrays) will be constant and the creatures can just get appended.

Disable and Enable for Stats and Graphs

Possible Solutions: Hotkey or Button

Implement communication via single neuron

Feeler is Output, other creature input

Implement Button for Camera reset

Jump to selected creature on Button press + Follow Button

make a UI element for loading and saving tilemap.dat and creatures.dat

This would enable having multiple saves and seeing different strategies for survival.

Set a minimum Age for the ability to give birth

Implement Camera

Camera should scroll the content of the tilemap via rightclick and WASD, zoom via Mousewheel

Neural Network rendering

Render family tree of creature

Increase water input strength when creature is longer in the water

Implement Pause button

Long term serialization

To save creatures in the long run without using up all available memory, dead creatures should be removed from memory and stored in a sqlite database for later data analysis.

Implement Quadtree

Implement Creature Attack

Neuronal Network Renderer

Creature Renderer

Save current frame number as long and calculate the displayed year with that

Float overflow stops counting after 524288 years. Oh noes!

Implement Multithreading for Creature Input / Output calculation

Implement Intercreature visibility

The creatures are not able to see each other yet.

Add oscillation neuron

There should be one input neuron which calculates the sin function over time. One Output neuron should handle the oscillation speed.

limit zoom-out to avoid to never find the map again

Create Creature Class

A lot of small fixes & tweeks #1

Setup simulation with full grown foodvalues
Faster food generation
Zero (or very low) food drop on creature death

CPU Auslastung aller Prozessoren immer bei 100%

Hallo,
ich habe mir eben die neuste Version von EvoNet heruntergeladen.
Doch es laggt wie Sau und wie im Titel beschrieben, ist die CPU Auslastung die Ganze Zeit bei 100%.
Und da die letzte Version auf meinem Laptop, der um Einiges schlechter ist als mein PC, ohne große Ruckler lief, sollte es an der Performance meines PCs nicht liegen.

Implement possibility to evolve to sea creature

Implement Tilemap

Variable amount of Memory Neurons

Put Simulation Code into own dll

Put the simulation code into its own dll, so we can build different applications using the same simulation code.

NN Serialization

TileMap Serialization

implement creature selection vis mouse controls

Seeing a Creature's stats etc. is great, but kind of random at the moment. It wold be better to implement selection via mouse controls.

Note: I have no idea clue about MonoGame, you wold have a pull request by now if I had.

(You can message me in German if you want)

When hovering a Neuron, only the connections that are connected with that neuron should be displayed

Variable amount of Feeler

Implement fast forward feature

Give tiles different fertility, depending on their height

Replace MonoGame Window with Windows Forms

To get better UI, but keep the performance we need to move the MonoGame Rendering into windows forms

Statistics

oldest creature, lifetime-graph and so on

Add Strafe Neuron and Movement

Implement Creature Behaviour

Implement Recurrent network

Via Output -> Input

Implement Neuronal Network API

Procedural Terrain Generator

No zoom when no focus on window

Implement slow motion

Food Generation

Use Logarithmic colorscale for neuron connection rendering

Implement Save & Load
