Simulation bot

The internal state of the simulation bot:

state = {
	timestamp: 752465236743527274,
	population: [
		[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5],
		[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5],
		[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5],
		[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5]

	]
}

In order to access the species of habitat of the i-th element of the history: state[‘population’][habitat][species]

History bot

The internal state of the history bot:

history = {
	population_history: [
		{
			timestamp: 752465236743527274,
			population: [
				[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5],
				[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5],
				[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5],
				[0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5]
				]
		}
	],
	species_events: [
		{
			timestamp: 752465236743527274
			habitat: 0,
			species: 3,
			event: <event>
		}
	],
	habitat_events: [
		{
			timestamp: 752465236743527274
			habitat: 0,
			event: <event>
		}
	]

}

In order to access the species of habitat of the i-th element of the history: history [‘population_history’] [i] [‘population’] [habitat] [species]

Timestamp

All the timestamps (milliseconds in UTC since 1-1-1970) are generated with the function: var timestamp = Date.now()

If you want to go back to the standard date object: var date = new Date(timestamp)
