Project setup

This section goes over the steps needed to setup this project on your machine and run the scripts or jupyter notebooks

Prerequisites

Python 3.10 (may work on earlier versions too)

Setup

Create a virtual environment before installing requirements

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment, on Windows do this:

.\venv\Scripts\activate

On linux/macOS, do this:

. venv/bin/activate

Install requirements

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Running jupyter lab

Jupyter lab is useful for visualizing data from a save file (see graph.ipynb)

To start, run this command:

jupyter-lab

(you must install dependencies first, see setup section for details)

Running scripts

Overview of current scripts

Edit Bibite genes in a save file

This script makes a copy of the included save file with some genes modified for all the Bibites.

python edit_save.py

Currently this is hardcoded to edit the included save-file (world_autosave_20220917102459.zip), but this can be customized by editing the src variable in the main function:

    src = root / "world_autosave_20220917102459.zip"

Next you may customize the new_genes dict in the main function to the ones that you'd like to change.

            new_genes = {
                "BrainMutationSigma": random.uniform(0.15, 0.4),
                "BrainAverageMutation": random.uniform(1.5, 4.0),
            }

random.uniform is useful for specifying a range of values for the population, where each Bibite gets a random value within this range.

This could also be a single value instead:

            new_genes = {
                "Diet": 0.2,
            }
