REM BITNET Simulation - made by Terry Newton
REM coded for Microsoft QBasic, 9/23/97
 
REM Uses 6 (simulated) bytes to connect 8 inputs to 6 outputs
REM Rules and bit-labeling simulate control of a microcore walking
REM robot of the type invented and patented by Mark Tilden,
REM specifically the two-motor type using four neurons and
REM a circuit to reverse one of the motors (or rewire the net)

REM Program interface...
REM  B - Bad - apply training to network
REM  I - Input - enter input bits (string of 0/1)
REM  T - Train - train with random inputs and defined rules
REM  R - Reset - reset network bits
REM  Q - Quit - exit program
REM All bits displayed bit 0 to bit 7 left-right
REM While training, displays input status (BadIn and RealBadIn),
REM learning signal (Good or Bad) and good/bad ratio. Press any
REM key to return to menu
 
REM preset variables
ins = 8           'number of input nodes
outs = 6          'number of output nodes
learnrate = .5    'odds of changing matrix bit, between 0 and 1
tallyfreq = 10    'update frequency for correct percentage
REM following Must be 0 or 1
tdist = 1         '1=weighted random training, 0=flat
Interactive = 1   'if 0, starts training immediately
restrict = 1      'if 1, restrict photoins when training
REM uninit'd vars assumed to start at 0
 
DIM OutNode(outs), InNode(ins)
DIM Abit(outs, ins)
DIM BadIn(ins), BadOut(outs)
DIM RealBadIn(ins), RealBadOut(outs)
DIM ActiveIn(ins), RestrictIn(ins)
 
REM specs are arbitrary - bits can mean anything
REM but if desired output is too specific it won't
REM converge - just a single-layer net
 
REM An imaginary walker-bot...
REM Input bits:       Output bits:
REM  0 = Feeler L      0 = Reverse (+ and - of front motor)
REM  1 = Dark on L     1 = Node 1 - rear left   (+ rear motor)
REM  2 = Photo L>R     2 = Node 2 - front left  (+ front motor)
REM  3 = Photo L=R     3 = Node 3 - rear right  (- rear motor)
REM  4 = Photo L<R     4 = Node 4 - front right (- front motor)
REM  5 = Dark on R     5 = Double effect
REM  6 = Feeler R
REM  7 = Feeler front
REM Rules:
REM  0,1,5,6,7 = bad input bits (feelers or dark )
REM  0,5 = bad output bits if no bad input (reverse, effect)
REM  7 = real bad input bit
REM  0 = good output bits if real bad input (should go in reverse)
REM  0,1,2,4,5,6,7 = input bits that must produce some output
 
REM Net penalized if bad out bits when no bad input bits
REM or if no good out bits with real bad input.
REM This simulation does NOT take into account real-world
REM action and effect, only that the generated move is
REM within the defined bounds of "correctness". You can
REM act as the "world" by manually applying bad signals.
