Build a DNA class that with methods to get and set the genes. It will be able to import and export a chain of longs. Possibly support a binary format, ASCII and array.

DNA Format

• long 0 Traits
• long 1 - n Behavoirs

Build a behavior gene class that can import and export to a long. Have getters and setters for all of the behavior factors for easy access.

Behavoir Gene Byte Format (single java long)

Gene Type

• byte 0

  • nibble 0 Stimulus Code
  • nibble 1 Action Code

• byte 1 Action parameter

Gene Behavior Values

• byte 2 Distance from target

• byte 3 Has target

• byte 4 Nearby enemies

• byte 5 Can attack

• byte 6 Is moving, has a path

• byte 7 Health

Build a traits gene class that can import and export to a long. Have getters and setters for all of the traits for easy access.
