Note that there are several parameters (-m for metabolism, -A for starting size of amoeba, etc.) that can be added to the above line. To find out and understand what each parameter is, look at main.py.

Debugging

The code generates a log/debug.log (detailed), log/results.log (minimal) and log\<player_name>.log (logs from player) on every execution, detailing all the turns and steps in the game.
