Thanks folks, again.
I was just wondering how this feature worked in 2.35
It is not a major issue, PY, and no need to spend time searching through old code.
The issue is interesting, though.
The "goal" of evolution, if it can be said to have one, is procreation. Dawkin's Selfish Gene, if you will. Number of offspring is the prime key, of course. For programming efforts, though, the secondary and tertiary sort selection is a quandry.
Is longevity a proper second? Is a slow breeder that lives long "better" than a fast breeder with limited life? I donno.
Most cumulative mutations? Maybe. That is of interest. That is the reason for the simulation isn't it. Most mutations from the start of the sim and still tied for top breeder? That may indeed be "best."
My input: # offspring
# cumulative mutations
# cycles (age)
any bot with "42" in the DNA
Well, maybe not that last one.
