This app was created for Object Oriented Programming course on AGH UST.
Evolution simulation was created in Java using JavaFX UI library.
- Each animal has genome containing 32 numbers from 0 to 7 (numbers represent directions, so the whole genome shows probability of animal's movement)
- The animal dies if its energy reaches 0, to survive it has to gain energy by eating plants randomly placed on the map
- Animals can reproduce, if their energy is above 50% of initial energy level
- The resulting child has its genome generated based on genomes and energy levels of the parent
- Reproducing and moving cost the animal energy
At the start of simulation user can choose options which determine evolutionary run.
The app provides 2 different types of map:
- Rolled map - animal is moved onto the other side when runs into edge of the map
- Map with borders - animal is stopped if runs into the edge of the map
The app can also:
- Graph the simulation statistics in real time
- Show most common genome currently on the map and mark animals with it
- Select a specific animal by clicking on it and show its genome
- Save simulation statistics to a .csv file
The application was created based on requirements posted here:
