Changelog

UI/UX Improvements
- Show additional danger-sense near boppie
- Disabled spike rotation and blood in performance mode
- Improved graphs by drawing lines instead of pixels in texture, graphs can be hidden
- Neurons have colors based on their type, can now drag neurons
- Show importance of neural network connections
- Can now select different profiles for displaying neural network (weights or activations)
Added lakes, water requirement for boppies and neurons for detecting lakes
Boppie colors now represent: hue: dna, saturation: energy, luminance: water
Added reinforcement learning, where neural net weights are adjusted based on rewards
New neurons/senses
- Terrain resistance sense below and ahead of boppie
- Timer (time encoded in DNA)
- Hunger/thirst
- A single large water ray for detecting water
- Ally sense for detecting allies (same as danger sense)
Fixed major bug where each time a new boppie was spawned the AIs and NeuronTimers would become orphaned
Required boppie offspring energy depends on DNA

Changelog v0.2.0

UI/UX Improvements
- Random seed is shown
- Can now drag boppies from fittest list into world
- Camera can now be moved by dragging the mouse
- DNA/Neural network as tabs, as they did not fit in a single column
- Neural networks now show what each input/output neuron means
Neural networks can have any structure (not necessarily fully connected)
Added rotating traps with spikes and blood marks after death
Added these senses for boppies:
- Danger sense (for detecting traps and kloppies)
Added boppie color as part of DNA
Implemented NEAT (Neuroevolution of Augmenting Topologies), such that the neural networks of the boppies change with each generation
- Added an innovation number for each connection in the neural network, as described in NEAT
- Crossover of creature DNA and neural networks
