Organisms

An organism is a container. Organisms contain one or more genome and one or more brain along with methods to produce offspring and track lineages.

Organisms contain:

• ID - a unique identifier
• Brains - a list of brains beloinging to this organism
• Genomes - a list of genomes beloinging to this organism
• dataMap - a DataMap used to store data for output
• timeOfBrith - when was this organism created
• timeOfDeath - when did this orgranism die?
• alive - is this organism currently alive
• ancestors - list of the IDs belonging to ancesters of this organism (which ancesters exactly is determined by the optimizer)
• parents - a list pointing to this organisms parent(s)

Work In Progress

Organism interface

shared_ptr<Organism> makeMutatedOffspringFrom(shared_ptr<Organism> parent)

creates an new organism by copying the parents genome and then applying mutations.

shared_ptr<Organism> makeMutatedOffspringFromMany(vector<shared_ptr<Organism>> from)

creates a new organism by combining features from the parents and applying mutations.
