Press Green Flag Use Right and left Arrow Key to change Trait Variation
Scroll down if you're not afraid of stats for nerds. Alright so basically O.V. O.SP. and O.L. stand for Optimal Variation, Speed, and Length respectively. Each clone has a personal variation, speed, and length which is between the Optimal Value minus Trait Variation and the Optimal Value plus Trait Variation. The color of each clone is dictated based on the relative values of their personal traits. (Example: if variation > speed and speed > length, the clone is vermilion. If variation > speed and speed and length are equal, the clone is red. the key is in the sprite names.) Variation is how much the clone turns in a single action. Length is the amount of Speed steps that the clone takes. (Example: if speed is 3 and length is 4, the clone takes 3 steps 4 times.) if a clone hits and obstacle, it does not die, it just returns to the start and repeats with the same trait totals. If a clone touches the goal, then all the other clones are deleted, the winning clone goes back to the start, it's trait totals are made the optimal variation, speed, and length, it makes 50 new clones, it dies, and the cycle repeats. Over time, the clones should get better and better at getting to the goal. If you're reading this (and DIDN'T just scroll to the bottom), congrats, you're a nerd. Welcome to the club.
