  +--physis.core.DigitalOrganismImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:: DigitalOrganism

public class DigitalOrganismImpl
extends java.lang.Object
implements DigitalOrganism

Plain implementation of the DigitalOrganism interface. This is used in most cases.

Field Summary

protected int age
          The age of the organism in updates.

protected double fitness


protected boolean isAlive
          Indicates that the organism is ready to run

protected boolean isfertile
          Indicates that the organism could bear at least one child

static int IT_DOESNT_COUNT_ANY_MORE
          When a task is performed too many times than it doesn't mean any bonus.

protected Merit merit
          The organism's merit

protected Metabolism metabolism
          It is actually the virtualmachine's I/O buffer.

protected DigitalOrganism neighbour
          One of the organism's neighbours is special because all the close interactions happen between two organism.

protected PerformedTasksRegister performed_tasks
          This hashtable keeps track the performed tasks.

protected java.lang.Object position_info
          This is information about the position of the organism in the lifespace.

protected PhysisVirtualMachine vm
          The "heart" of the organism

Constructor Summary

DigitalOrganismImpl()
          It simply creates the organism - it doesn't mean it's alive.

DigitalOrganismImpl(java.lang.String vm_classname)


Method Summary

int getAge()
          Gives the age of the organism.

int getEffectiveLength()
          Returns the effective length.

double getFitness()
          Returns the fitness value of the organism.

Genome getGenome()
          Gives the genetic information of the organism.

int getGenomeSize()
          Gives the size of the organism's genome.

int getMerit()
          Retruns the merit.

Metabolism getMetabolism()
          Gives the Metabolism of the organism.

DigitalOrganism getNeighbour()
          Returns the organism's neighbour.

void recalculateBonus(double bonus_multiplier)
          Recalculates the organism's bonus by multiplying it with the bonus multiplier.

void recalculateEffectiveLength()
          Recalculates the effective length.

void recalculateFitness()
          Recalculates the fitness.

void setFertile(boolean fertility)

void setNeighbour(DigitalOrganism digorg)
          Sets the organism neighbour.

void setPositionInfo(java.lang.Object o)
          Sets the position information.

java.lang.String toString()


void update()
          Updates the organism's state by executing one cpu-cycle.

void update(int cpu_cycles)
          Updates the organism's state by executing given amount of cpu_cycles.

void vivify(DigitalOrganism neighbour_, GeneticCodeTape codetape, int inherited_length)
          Makes the organism to be alive.
