This personal project is an amalgamation of several of my favourite programming topics. It integrates quines, genetic programming, fractals and cellular automata.
- Each circle represent a cell of various types, and exists physically as a .java code file when the simulation is run.
- The various notations used for depicting how each version works is shows below.
- The above structures, when dark denote the first generating block (which might be unique like in v5), while when faded depict the repetation block in the subsequent generations.
- Solid grey arrows denote asexual breeding, red/blue arrows denote sexual breeding by crossover, while dashed grey arrows denote inter-organism growth from zygote.
- All quines are non-cheating quines (they don't read their source code)
- DNA of every cell is same in all generation if no mutation (no information is lost/modified)
- 1 quine program represent 1 cell's properties
- G - Cell's Generation Number
- simEndGen - Number of generations to simulate
- T - Type ID, cell belongs to what type of Tissue (0- zygote, 1- brain, 2- body, 3-gamate)
- size array determines the structure of the organism, how many cells of what type and how they evolve from the zygote
- gamates are different from other cells. A female gamate gets input phenotype from a male gamate for crossover to zygotes of next generation
- Organism ID is odd for female (and initial asexual zygote) and even for male, and subsequent pairing (can be thought of as pair by closeness)
- Add cell aging
- Add meaningfull phenotype string
- Add mutation
- Add random pairing
- Add random number signifying reproductive probability per organism based on favourable environment
- Can the java file make the script file too as Ouroboros
- Radiation harden
- Mutate parts of core DNA (not only phenotype) to produce new organisms like mutating size array body and brain cell numbers to change the organism structure
