v0.8.1 - The Cheap Release
v0.8.0 - The Speciation Release
- New breathing code: With the new chemistry system, narjillos can live and reproduce off atmosphere chemicals alone, even without ever touching food. As a result, the dish now has different ecological niches, and you can have different species with different survival strategies co-existing in the dish. Typically, some species will survive by hunting for food, while others will spare energy and survive by breathing.
- Grab-bag: The usual bunch of small fixes and changes.
v0.7.0 - The Database Release
- Very long experiments: In previous versions, memory kept growing until you eventually got an error (usually around 100 to 120 Megaticks). Now historical data is saved to a database rather than memory - so you can just keep going. Let's see whether creatures keep evolving in extremely long experiments.
- History database: As a bonus, you can now examine the history of an experiment with any SQLite client.
v0.6.0 - The Madison+ Release
- Better Command-line Arguments: More intuitive and easy to remember.
- Grab-bag: Small fixes and changes.
v0.5.0 - The Lab Analysis Release
- Lab Analysis: the lab and dnabrowser programs help you export and analyze experiments, gene pools, germlines and individual DNAs.
- Simpler Command-line Interface: The experiment script is gone. Use narjillos --fast instead.
- Atmosphere: Narjillos consume and produce elements (Oxygen, Hydrogen and Nitrogen). A first attempt at a self-regulating ecosystem.
- Eye Candy: the creatures are cuter and more detailed.
- More Powerful Genes: the ratio of a Narjillo's "beat wave" is determined by its genes.
- Grab-bag: More fixes and small changes.
v0.4.0
- Better Navigation: automatic zoom-to-fit and better double-click detection.
- Genome Tweaks: longer, fixed-length genome and more flexible body plans.
- Fix "A Chromosome Is Forever" Bug: reproduction could add genes, but never remove them.
- Fix "Don't Bother Saving" Bug: experiments were not auto-saved reliably every ten minutes.
- More tweaks and fixes.
v0.3.1
v0.3.0
- Configuration file: edit configuration.yaml to change mutation rate, dish size and dozens of others parameters.
- New reproduction code: amongst other things, narjillos "shoot" eggs, and egg parameters are determined by genes.
- Smoother graphics: the program consistently runs at 30 FPS on modern machines.
- Smarter saving: frequently persisting a command-line experiment was taking more time than actually running it. Now everything is much faster.
- More small improvements and bug fixes.
v0.2.0
- Intuitive navigation: pinch to zoom, drag to pan, lock on objects with double-click.
- Proper command-line arguments: start with "--help" to see your options.
- Viscosity: prevents narjillos from becoming freakish long-legged speed demons.
- Better persistence: saves experiment and ancestry to a single file, with reliable temporary files.
- More small improvements and bug fixes.
