# world

The world is composed of a cell lattice. Each cell can contain a specific type of cell, and these cells
evolve according to fixed, regular rules.

Agents exist on top of the cell lattice. They occupy specific cell locations, but those locations are
otherwise considered empty. Agents exist independent of the cells and evolve independent of them, though of
course they are intertwined.

Time step process:

 * Agents update internal state and propose moves.
 * World updates
 * Agent moves are resolved in the new world, and agent status is updated.
 * World state is updated to include agents.

Cell types:
*(all cells, except for Empties and Flags, count as GoL living)*

 * Empty (territory-colored, GoL dead)
 * Immutable
 * Mutable
 * Active (GoL living)
 * Flag

Agent aspects: (64)
  * team (4)
  * orientation (4)
  * mobile/frozen (2)
  * has flag (2)
  * identity (3-channel)

Agents have *internal state* corresponding to the state of their internal neurons (and roughly corresponding to their memories and experiences) and *status*, which refers to things like their current orientation, position, and mobility.


Agent senses:
 * Hearing (inverse square, infinite range)
 * Sight (2D top-down, see further ahead than behind or to the sides, 7-channel)
 * Match timer
 * Epoch timer

Agent actions:
 * Move forward/backward
 * Turn left/right
 * Place mutable
 * Trigger mutable -> active (5x5 square ahead of agent)
 * Play frozen
 * Unfreeze
 * Take flag
 * Drop flag (immediately ahead of agent)


 When carrying a flag, an agent counts as a flag tile (and other agents can steal the flag from them!). Otherwise, an agent counts as an empty tile.
