Constructor Details

WheelGeometry

public WheelGeometry(EvoLudo engine)

Create a wheel (cycle with hub) geometry tied to the given engine.

Parameters:

engine - EvoLudo pacemaker

Method Details

init

public void init()

Generates a wheel geometry, i.e. a ring (periodic 1D lattice) with a hub in the middle that connects to all rim nodes (resembling spokes). The wheel is an undirected evolutionary amplifier albeit weaker than the star. Node 0 is the hub.

Specified by:

init in class AbstractGeometry

checkSettings

protected boolean checkSettings()

Description copied from class: AbstractGeometry

Hook for subclasses to implement geometry specific checks.

Overrides:

checkSettings in class AbstractGeometry

Returns:

true if adjustments require a reset
