Tamagotchi-style digital pet squid with a simple neural network [research project]

https://github.com/ViciousSquid/Dosidicus/wiki

• Includes tools for visualising and understanding neural networks
• Design your own squid brain with GUI tools - watch it evolve and learn!
  
•  Autonomous Behavior:
  
  • The squid makes autonomous decisions based on current state (hunger, sleepiness, etc.).
  • Implements a vision cone for food detection, simulating realistic foraging behavior.
  • Hebbian learning algorithm runs every 30 seconds (configurable)
  • Experiences from short-term and long-term memory can influence decision-making
  • Squid can create new neurons in response to his environment (Neurogenesis)
  Needs Management System:
  • Tracks various needs like hunger, sleepiness, happiness, and cleanliness.
  • Needs change over time and affect the pet's health and behavior.
  • The squid can become sick and die if his needs are neglected.
  Personality system
  • Seven different personality types which influence behaviour
