Configurable radiation function #86

Open chrxh opened 8 months ago

chrxh commented 8 months ago

Feature request: Currently the radiation logic is based on thresholds. For example, when the age of a cell exceeds a certain value (min radiation age), it starts radiating. A smooth radiation function (with respect to age) would be desirable to allow gradual deterioration and thus exert greater selection pressure on organisms whose age is below the minimum radiation age. A possible simple solution could be to make the coefficients of this function configurable in the simulation parameter window.
