Class tjhGene

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--tjhGene

public class tjhGene

extends java.lang.Object

A tree structure of genes, each with a simple type (RED/GREEN) and a neuron. When a creature is born, a tree of tjhCell's is created that mirrors this tree representation of genes.

Field Summary

protected static int	GREEN fixed enum type value for a green cell (root cell is drawn in pink but always behaves like a green)
protected boolean	has_parent does this gene have a parent?
protected static int	MAX_SUBNODES the maximum number of allowed daughter cells per cell
tjhNeuron	neuron the neuron associated with the cell
protected static float	P_MENTAL_MUTATION the probability of a mental mutation
protected static float	P_PHYSICAL_MUTATION the probability of a physical mutation
protected tjhGene	parent a reference to the gene's parent if it has one
protected static int	RED fixed enum type value for a red cell
java.util.Vector	subnodes list of the subnodes of this gene
int	type the type of the cell (RED/GREEN)

Constructor Summary

tjhGene()
default constructor

Method Summary

void	Copy(tjhGene other) gene replication routine
void	InitSimple() simple initialization from scratch, creates a creature with a red arm and a green arm
protected boolean	MentalMutationCalledFor() decides whether a mental mutation should happen this time
protected int	NumBelow(int type_requested) counts the total number of cells below this point of the type specified (recurses)
protected boolean	PhysicalMutationCalledFor() decides whether a physical mutation should happen this time
protected int	TotalNum(int type_requested) counts the total number of the specified type of cell in the creature (calls NumBelow)
