Constructor Detail

Genome

public Genome(int nLength,
              int nAlphabet,
              long seed)

Constructor for generating a new random genome

Parameters:

nLength - the number of bits in the code

nAlphabet - the number of symbols that a bit can be instantiated to

seed - the randomizing seed

Genome

public Genome(critter.Genome genomeX,
              critter.Genome genomeY,
              int crossoverPoint)

Constructor for a new genome based on two parents.

Parameters:

genomeX - the parent x genome

genomeY - the parent y genome

crossoverPoint - the point marking for crossover operation.

Method Detail

crossoverPoint

public int crossoverPoint()

Helper function that calculates a suitable point for crossover

Returns:

int point for crossover

mutate

public void mutate(double probability)

Randomly changes bits in the genetic code.

Parameters:

probability - the probabililty by which a bit is changed.
