Increasing simulation speeds
Hi there
Is there an easy way to drastically increase the simulation speed of the breve environment? Either by commands or by editing the source somewhere to allow this?
I am looking into using Breve for repeatedly testing my AI during long term evolutionary development, and this would be much easier if I found a way to do this.

Commandline
The best advice I can give you for speeding things up is to use the commandline version of breve and turn off the graphical output as well as the pause at start up using the 'x' and 'u' commandline switches:
breve -xu "File.tz"
You will need to set up some way for your simulation to save the output of evolution in such a way that you can reload it with the graphics turned on and look at the results. Check out breve's archiving features.
If you can find any more ways to speed things up though, I'd be interested in hearing about them.
