colony-simulation

Colony simulation using Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms

Created with Unity (for linux)

TODO

non-starred = important
* = Important, but do non-starred first
** = Not really important for now, but needs to be done eventually
*** = Nice to have, not planned to make

• World generation
  • Tiles
    • Convert tile classes to MonoBehaviour scripts and use Unity as it should be used
    • Move spawning of Tiles to the Tile class
    • Tile base class
      • List of AI(s) that are on that tile
    • Tile ground
      • Prefab
      • Class
    • Tile wall
      • Prefab
      • Class
    • Tile food (*)
      • Prefab
      • Class
      • Food color represents how much food the tile has
      • Grow food over time (**)
    • Generate food in patches
• Camera
  • Move camera with right mouse button
  • Zoom in/out with scrolling
  • Follow an AI by clicking on it
    • Unfollow by clicking on it again
    • Zoom towards cliked AI
• AI
  • Spawning (basic)
  • Give Age property
    • Update age every second
  • Move some stuff from AI to AIAnt that dont belong in AI
  • Save best AI weights
    • Load AI weights
  • Decay dead bodies over time (**)
    • Maybe ai can decide to go carnivore and eat the dead bodies? (**)
  • Behaviour
    • Basic
      • Movement (constant velocity forward)
      • Eating (**)
      • Reproducing
        • Genetic Algorithm
          • Get the genomes of 2 of the best ants and merge/mutate those into genomes for the new generation
          • The new generation gets added next to the existing generation
          • Use ai's age as fitness
        • Actually let 2 ants produce a baby (not just create a whole new population)
      • Sight
        • Eye(s) register RGB
        • Choose hits randomly? Now we just pick the first X ones (where X = this.eyeAmount)
        • Make raycast for each eye ?
    • Advanced (Neural nets) (*)
      • Movement (*)
        • Inputs should be what AI sees (multiple senses that register RGB?)
        • 1 Output, used to rotate the AI
        • Ants don't really seem to improve ...
• UI
  • World info
    • Split generation info into its own class
    • Basic info
    • BUG "Highest ant age" is not highest at all times.. (now shows highest from last population)
  • Add fitness values into a continues diagram?
  • Selected AI info
    • AI info
    • Vision (show the color it is seeing?)
    • AIAnt info
    • Show ai in seperate camera (so dont follow ai with main camera when selected) (**)
  • Speed buttons
