# Zoo, a play-field for genetic algorithms and neural networks

`Zoo` is a simulation of creatures ('blobs') operating on a rectangular field, using simple neural networks to calculate actions out of neural stimulus from 'sensors'. Inspired by this YouTube video: [I programmed some creatures. They Evolved.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3tRFayqVtk).

**Note: use `x`, `q` or `` to exit the simulation. Do not use the close-icon from the window-frame or else the programm will continue to run and use up your CPU and RAM!**

Build with Apache Maven:

`mvn clean package`

Run in a Java Runtime:

```

USAGE: java -jar target/zoo-0.8.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar [-c ] [-g ] [-d ] [-q] [-?]

    -c  ... always use this context

    -g    ... use this genom as starting-point for every simulation

    -d    ... delay between steps for first simulation [ms]

    -q           ... quiet mode, do not ping

```

Use the following keys to control the simulation:

```

           Accelerate the simulation

            Decelerate the simulation

              Only show the result of each generation (toggle)

            Rendering on/off (toggle)

    S                   Skip to the end of the current generation

    P                   Pause the simulation (toggle)

    L                   Log world context and genom of the first blob

    N, ,  Start the next (random) simulation

    X, Q,          Exit the programm

```
