Function initializeGeneration0

src/spawnNewGeneration.cpp:18–32

Requires that the grid, signals, and peeps containers have been allocated. This will erase the grid and signal layers, then create a new population in the peeps container at random locations with random genomes.

// This will erase the grid and signal layers, then create a new population in
// the peeps container at random locations with random genomes.
void initializeGeneration0()
{
    // The grid has already been allocated, just clear and reuse it
    grid.zeroFill();
    grid.createBarrier(p.barrierType);

    // The signal layers have already been allocated, so just reuse them
    signals.zeroFill();

    // Spawn the population. The peeps container has already been allocated,
    // just clear and reuse it
    for (uint16_t index = 1; index <= p.population; ++index) {
        peeps[index].initialize(index, grid.findEmptyLocation(), makeRandomGenome());
    }
}


// Requires a container with one or more parent genomes to choose from.
