2 Spawning Pools #85

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Some builds are coming back satisfied with 2 pools.  There is no reason for a 
player to ever build 2 pools.

The second pool came after the WP2 (7~ish time) in this build:

My settings:

Final:
8 processor
time limit 120
1 overseer
3 queen
10 zerglings
metabolic boost
6 mutalisks
1 lair
2 extractors
1 pool
1 spire

WP1:
time 4:30
1 queen
6 zerglings
metabolic boost

WP2:
time 7:00
1 overseer
1 lair

yes, even if there are 2 upgrades i do not see any build that will research 
those both in the same time. SP should be limited to 1.
The same for other buildings if you do not select multiple upgrades.
Another common thing i sow is 3 evochambers when i select only +2 armor.
I think limiting buildings based on the input can speed things a little.

Putting 1 Spawning Pool on final also doesn't fix the issue, it makes no sense 
why it would make more than 1 Spawning Pool unless the user specifically said 2.

Perhaps this could be solved by adding constraints, such that in the same way 
we set a target amount, we could set a maximum. 

Providing constraints on the algorithm could help exclude poor branches before 
even attempting them.

Basically a way to say "at most 1 spawning pool <or _____ unit/building>"

Issue 111 has been merged into this issue.

In genetic algorithms, there are sometimes un-intuitive jumps from good builds 
to bad builds, to an even better build.

So, while that will never absolutely go away, I believe we are currently 
ignoring more than one spawning pool in the actual build.
