/**
   Neuro implementation - this object calculates the Neuron's state
   (Neuro::state) in each simulation step.

SUBCLASSING TUTORIAL
====================

1.Derive your custom neuron from NeuroImpl class. The name must be prefixed with NI_

class NI_MyNeuron: public NeuroImpl
{ ... };

2.Public parameters
Create any number of public fields, they will be adjustable from the genotype level.
3 datatypes are supported: long, double and SString

public:
  long intParameter;
  double fpParameter;
  SString txtParameter;


3.Required method: "instantiator".
It is always the same, just create a new instance of your neuron.
public:
  NeuroImpl* makeNew() { return new NI_MyNeuron(); };


4.Required method: default constructor
Set the "paramentries" variable if you need public parameters in your neuron.
NI_..._tab is created automatically and should be declared as: extern ParamEntry NI_..._tab[];
At this stage the parameter values are not yet available.

public:
 NI_MyNeuron() // no parameters!
 {
 paramentries=NI_MyNeuron_tab;
 // you add here: some general initialization
 }


5.Optional method: initialization
This method is called once before the neuron is actually used in the simulation.
The parameter values are already initialized (according to the genotype) and the neuron is bound to the creature (i.e. this->neuro is valid).
Return 0 if the neuron cannot be initialized.

int lateinit()
 {
 // you add here: initialization using full neuron context
 // example: if (!neuro->joint) return 0; //this neuron must be attached to joint
 return 1;//OK
 }


6.Required method: simulation step
If it has output: calculate the next neuron state and call setState()
If it is an effector: do anything else

void go()
 {
 // you add here: things called every simulation step
 }

Note: You can make your neuron fire before or after "regular" neurons by changing its "simorder" property (during initialization). The default value is 1, whereas receptors have simorder=0 and effectors have simorder=2.


7.Neuron definition
In order to incorporate the new neuron into Framsticks you need to provide some additional information (to be added to "f0.def" file).

NEUROCLASS(MyNeuron,MN,This is the name,`Neuron description',-1,1,0)
NEUROPROP(int,0,0,name of the int,d,,,,intParameter)
NEUROPROP(fp,0,0,name of the floating point,f,,,,fpParameter)
NEUROPROP(txt,0,0,name of the text,s,,,,txtParameter)
ENDNEUROCLASS 

NEUROCLASS:
- MyNeuron: neuron class name (without the NI_ prefix)
- MN: neuron symbol (used in genotypes)
- full name and description
- -1: preferred number of inputs (special case: -1=any)
- 1: provides output: 1=yes/0=no
- 0: preferred location: 0=none, 1=part, 2=joint

NEUROPROP:
- int/fp/txt: parameter names as visible in genotypes and scripting
- "name of the ...": descriptive name
- d/f/s: type (int/floating point/string)
- intParameter/fpParameter/txtParameter: C++ field names
