Instance Method Details

#apply_cluster(evolvable_class, cluster_name, **_) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Applies all genes in this cluster to the given evolvable class. This is called automatically when using the cluster macro.

Parameters:

  • evolvable_class (Class) —

    The evolvable class to apply the cluster to

  • cluster_name (Symbol) —

    The name to use for the cluster in the evolvable class

  • _ (Hash) —

    Additional options (for future expansion)

def apply_cluster(evolvable_class, cluster_name, **_)
  @cluster_config.each do |name, kw|
    evolvable_class.gene("#{cluster_name}-#{name}", **kw, cluster: cluster_name)
  end
end

#gene(name, **opts) ⇒ Object

Defines a gene in the cluster. This is used internally by the cluster to define its component genes.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The name of the gene within the cluster

  • opts (Hash) —

    Options for the gene (type, count, etc.)

def gene(name, **opts)
  @cluster_config << [name, opts]
end

#inherited(subclass) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Ensures that subclasses inherit the cluster configuration.

Parameters:

  • subclass (Class) —

    The subclass that is inheriting from this class
