Minor update v4.9: External energy extensions
Artificial Life Environment » Devlog
This update extends the possibilities for using an external energy source. It allows you to control the inflow and backflow of energy from/to an external source. It even offers the possibility to perform simulations without energy particles but with limited cell lifetime. Exciting examples can be found in the simulation browser under Primordial Ocean
. Furthermore, a real-time counter was added (it is saved with the simulation settings and reset appropriately when a snapshot is restored), the rendering of the cells was made a bit nicer for high zoom levels, and a new coloring mode was added, which not only visualize the mutation but also the cell functions.
Added
- engine, gui/simulation parameters: conditional and unconditional energy inflow from external energy source
- engine, gui/simulation parameters: energy backflow to the external energy source
- gui/simulation view: combined mutation and cell function coloring
- gui/temporal control window: real-time counter
Changed
- gui/simulation view: cells are rendered smoother
- engine, gui/simulation parameters: external energy becomes a scalar value (no color dependence)
Deleted
- engine, gui/simulation parameters: energy pump from constructors (substituted by conditional energy inflow)
Fixed
- serialization: activation of necessary add-ons for old simulation parameter files fixed
- gui/browser: preserve subfolders when renaming folders
