Evolution Simulation Project Roadmap

This roadmap outlines the planned features and milestones for the Evolution Simulation project. It is subject to change based on feedback and project requirements.

Milestone 0: Basic Simulation Setup

  • Implement basic grid-based simulation environment.
  • Integrate animal movement, consumption, and energy management.
  • Add plant entities for energy replenishment.
  • Implement basic DNA system for animals.

Milestone 0.1: Expansion of Organisms DNA attributes

  • Creating a DNA class to hold information about an organism.
  • Adding new attributes to the DNA class.
  • Implement effects of attributes on animals properties.
  • Enable mutation of DNA during reproduction.

Milestone 1: Organism Database

  • Create a database with all organisms that have existed / exist in the simulation.
  • Enable automatic saving of organisms to the database
  • Track different statistics about the life of the organism like a movement heatmap, kills, etc.

Milestone 2: Organism Database interaction

  • Enable querying of the database.
  • Enable filtering of the database.

Milestone 3: Visualization and Genetic Analysis

  • Visualize gene distribution in the simulation.
  • Implement a panel displaying graphs and visualizations of gene distribution.
  • Analyze statistics such as lifespan and offspring production.

Milestone 4: User Interaction and GUI Improvements

  • Develop a user-friendly GUI for simulation settings adjustment.
  • Enable users to view an animal's statistics and DNA attributes by clicking on them.

Milestone 5: Neural Networks

  • Integrate neural networks for animal behavior.
  • Enable NN mutatinos for offspring.
  • Enable visualisation and comparision of NN's
  • Implement speciation.

Milestone 6: Performance improvement

  • Improve datatypes and structure to improve performance.
  • Rethink usage of the grid and tile structure and if it can be improved.

Milestone 7: World improvement

  • Implement an infinite world with a chunking system.
  • Allow the traversing of the world.
  • Add biome types.
  • Implement day and night cycle influencing the organisms and world.
  • Improve weather and environement simulation. (optional)

Milestone 8: Animal improvements

  • Enable different types of sight. (for example color based)
  • Enable pheromone expulsion and sensing.
  • Enabling sound and hearing.

Milestone 9: Reproduction improvements

  • Implement differten reproduction types such as sexual reproduction mechanics.
  • Add incubation time for female animals, impacting offspring development.
  • Implement reproductive urge and attraction mechanics.

Milestone 10: Plant expansion

  • Expand possibilities of different types of plants.
  • Expand plant dna attributes
  • Enable plants to play a more active role in shaping the simulation

Milestone 11: Testing and Documentation

  • Write unit tests for critical components.
  • Create detailed documentation for the project.
  • Refine README.md with setup instructions and project overview.

Milestone 12: Finalization and Optimization

  • Polish user interface and experience.
  • Optimize code for performance.
  • Conduct thorough testing and debugging.
