But let's take a step back and look at what a Krit actually is.
A krit is just a creature that I've develoepd which 'lives' and moves around the screen. They obey a set of rules that dictate how they act and move which will be discussed later on.
After seeing a friend produce a version of the game of life, I thought I'd have a go at developing a type of that with many more rules which would let it simulate life in some way
Krits exist on a 100x100 grid and follow the basic set of rules:
- Only one Krit can occupy one tile at a time.
- Krits can only move within a 1 square radius (x and y offset between -1 and 1).
- A Krits health will decay at a constant rate which will be determined at its birth
- At each update, each expressed genetic trait will receive an update which can edit the Krits details and each unexpressed trait will have its triggers ran
- If a Krit is within 5 of a member of another tribe for 3 or more turns, it will become aggressive. If it is separated (greater than 5 away) from another tribe for 3 turns it will become passive
- When a Krit is aggressive, it will identify the closest member of another tribe and move towards it. If it is next to it, it will attempt to strike for between 1 and 4 damage with ~80% chance of hitting.
- If the creature is not aggressive, it will try to move towards the averaged center of the tribe or pick a random x and y offset between -1 and 1 with a chance of 30%.
- Pregnancy will take 9 updates to complete.
- A female krit can have between 1 and 3 children
- A female krit has a ~0.8% chance of losing a child per update during pregnancy
- A child should be placed within a 1 block radius of the parent and should be lost if a space is not available.
- A child krit should determine its new health by averaging the parents values with a jitter of between -4 and 4 (including decimals).
- A child krit should determine its new decay rate by averaging the parents with jitter of -0.2 to 0.2 for the decay rate and -3 to 3 for its frequency.
- A child krit should have a randomly assigned sex
- A child krit should take the average of the parents colours with a jitter of -20 to 20 for each of the r g and b values.
- A child krit should have a minimum decay rate of 0.2/2 (set if the values are set below 0)
- A child should take all dominant genes of the parents
- A child should take all recessive genes which exist on both the parents
- A child should take the tribe of the mother
- A krit has ~100% chance of mating with its mate when adjacent to each other
- A krit has ~60% chance of mating with a member of its own tribe if it does not have a Mate
- A krit has a ~40% chance of mating with a member of another tribe if it does not have a mate
- If a krit does not have a mate and mates with another krit, that krit will become its mate
