Last change on this file since 1227 was 1227, checked in by Maciej Komosinski, 12 months ago

Improvements in f4:

  • fixed a bug where newly created cells in a given development step were not counted as in-active-development (overlooked), and if they were the only in-active-development cells, the development of an organism would stop
  • added one extra development step (#ifdef EXTRA_STEP_CELL_DEVELOPMENT) so that cells that became not in-active-development ("halted" or yielding, usually due to waiting for neurons to develop in other cells) would get a chance to continue development (important when we don't want to ignore invalid neuron connections, #ifdef TREAT_BAD_CONNECTIONS_AS_INVALID_GENO)
  • ensured that all connections in a cell are processed (earlier they could be skipped if the development of the cell was "halted" and all cells became not in-active-development)
  • got rid of neuron connection syntax [sensor:weight], now all neuron classes are handled in a uniform way and their [connections] too; the only allowed syntax is [input_index:weight]
  • unified handling of all neuroclasses during parsing, conversion and mutation
  • more correct syntax coloring
  • got rid of general-purpose fields (i1, i2, f1, s1) in class f4_node - now separate fields serve their individual purpose
  • rewritten creating and modifying neuron connections - it is more deliberate to satisfy neuron input/output preferences
  • some invalid neuron connections make a genotype invalid (previously invalid neuron connections were ignored and the genotype was considered valid)
  • added (surprisingly missing) simple debug printout functions to see the f4_Node tree structure and the developing f4_Cells
  • more informative variable and constant names
  • improved performance
  • Property svn:eol-style set to native
