Required dependencies:
pygame : pip install pygame
neat : pip install neat-python
visualize.py is completely optional. It requires some additional dependencies. Feel free to exclude that import. If you decide not to import that module, make sure to comment line numbers #342, #343, #344.
*If you want the rocks to be dynamic, make sure to uncomment lines #133 through #158. They are commented by default.
SimulationTrainedAgents
In this simulation, each Rover will be able to 'see' in 360 directions. If there is a Rock in the line of sight, the Distance between the Rock and the Rover, the Angle between the line passing through the Rover's horizontal and the line joining the Rock and the Rover, the Width and Height of the Rock (if any) will be returned. If there are no Rocks in the line of sight of the Rover, they will be returning DEFAULT for all parameters. It will also know the distance to each boundary and finally it's position in the environment.
Neural Network Architecture*:
Input Layer: (1446 Nodes)
360 - Distances in each Direction
