The new 'Safe mode' idea

(1/2) > >>

Botsareus:
My last update before the release of 2.45.03Beta will be the new 'safe mode' idea. I would like you guys to weigh in while I fix the cross over algorithm.

This is more an FYI then a suggestion but if anyone wants to point out any specific issues please do so.

I am making some reasonably big changes at this point and I am expecting program instability. Therefor, I also want to implement "Safe mode" similar to SafeMode in windows. This will make program errors and crashes easier to debug. The program will run a little slower because there will be a forced AutoSave every 3,000 cycles (You may change this number if you want, I am calculating this based on a 10 minute interval) but the benefits of more stability should out way the extra time.

I got the idea from the way testlund debugs the program.

SlyStalker:
Good idea.

Botsareus:
The simulation now has 'skin' based on seed it started with. This will allow the user to run parallel sims on a single computer and still know what chart belongs to what sim. This is done as part of my overall safe mode fix.

Also, It just looks cool  8)

On further thought I am going to make it a fixed value at 2K

I had to disable 'Allow unrounded floating point calculations' so my randomizer works accurately.

First step for safe mode, system always uses seed but seed is prerandomized optionally. "Randomize Timer" statement is no longer ever used.
