A reproduction method for artificial lifeforms where: * Each agent has a single strand of genetic information. * Each child has two parents. * Each parent contributes approximately half of its genetic information to the offspring.
Documentation
class Reproductive a whereSource
A species that reproduces, transmitting genetic information to
its offspring. Minimal complete definition: all except mate
.
The basic unit of hereditary information for an agent. The type signature for the agent's genome is [Base a].
recombine :: RandomGen r => a -> a -> Rand r [Base a]Source
Recombines the genetic information from two parents, creating genetic information for potential offspring. Typically this involves the following steps: 1. Recombine the two strands of genetic information (one from each parent) to obtain two new strands. 2. Discard one strand, and return the remaining one.
build :: AgentId -> [Base a] -> Maybe aSource
Builds an agent based on the genome provided, if it is possible to do so.
