Minor update v4.8: UI and parameter window improvements


Added

  • gui/simulation view: borderless rendering (world is rendered periodically) + parameter to (de)activate
  • gui/simulation view: adaptive space grid for orientation + parameter to (de)activate
  • gui/simulation view: new coloring which highlights particular cell functions
  • gui/simulation parameters: addon widget introduced
  • gui/simulation parameters: center button in spatial control
  • engine, gui/simulation parameters: attacker and particle absorption depending on genome complexity
  • engine, gui/simulation parameters: addon for genome complexity measurement
  • engine, gui/simulation parameters: low and high velocity penalty for energy particle absorption

Changed

  • gui/simulation parameters: move expert settings for absorption, attacker, external energy and color transition to addons
  • gui/simulation view: short white background flash after creating and loading snapshots (now called flashbacks)
  • gui/simulation view: cross cursor in edit mode
  • gui/simulation view: mutation coloring adapted such that color changes occur only after major structural mutations
  • gui/statistics: adapt plot heights depending on the visible data points
  • engine: memory consumption reduced (~ 10% depending on the data)
  • server: support for large simulation files (up to 144 MB)

Fixed

  • gui/simulation parameters: show base tab when new simulation is loaded
  • gui/statistics: maintain previous statistics data after resizing the simulation
  • engine: fixed rare and spontaneous crashes that occur when many cells and connections are destroyed
  • engine: new completeness check counting the actual cells of the creature against the cells in the genome
  • engine: wrong displacement calculation in case of zooming and moving objects fixed
