ICM, Genetic Crossing Part 2

[UPDATED for 11-10-27 homework: I intend to expand upon this sketch for my final project.  I've added functionality for offspring taking an average of the parents' traits, but of course this is only one small aspect of where we believe we get our genes/traits/habits from.  While we may be born to smart parents, we may end up dumb.  So maybe weighing genetics vs. luck vs. environment vs. whatever will need to be the preferred future model.  Which is great, because it will dovetail nicely into my plans to create Galapag.us's "evolutions", or formulae hypothesizing what characters people are made up of.  So someone's numbers may be range-bound via genetics but may leap way out of bounds with other factors playing a part.  What is the role of which country one's parents are identified with in how one turns out?  I also need to add aging, and tracking of offspring from parents, perhaps seeing how the code determines procreation likelihood.

I would also like to patch the Processing sketch into my already-existing user database for Galapag.us in MySQL.  I suspect Processing might have some nice data visualization libraries I can use to feltronize the data I have already.]

For our homework this week, we were supposed to write some Processing code that creates multiple instances of an object. I took my genetic crossing homework from last week and expanded it.

Most notably, all the “persons” were turned into an array of Person objects.  I hashed out the sex() function more, but didn’t do a blend of all the characteristics, leaving it a randomized process for the time being.  But offspring of offspring could now reproduce via the flirt(), chemistry(), and sex() functions that calculate whether two random male-female pairs (sorry, I didn’t make adopt() or insemination() functions yet) find an attraction and mate.

I also added a new class for nations, creating the US, China, and EU.  I thought about checking each person object to see if it would be more attracted to a certain nation and thus gravitate towards it, but I was having problems either with how to move the persons accurately (weighting between preferences for the three nations) and also how to keep them from bunching up together so much that they are unreadable.  Everything is there though except for the requisite movement functions.  The nations draw squares based on the rating (1-10 scale) of their security, innovation, jobOpportunity, and immigrationPolicy.  Obviously this doesn’t include all variables but some to just test to see if it works.  I wanted the person-nation attraction to be based on intelligence vs. innovation (which I realize is not a very strong relationship always).

Pressing the space bar stops the looping so you can get a look at the non-moving sketch.  Mousing over the different person nodes pops up a box with that node’s precise data.
