#Testing and Refactoring

Stringmol is research code, but the time has come to improve its organisation. We need to standardise parameter loading on the following run types:

• 0: 1 on 1
• 1: ALife XII
• 2: Con pop
• 4: Comass GA

##Parameters

These are the values that are used in the config files (missing parameters are standardised already)

###RANDSEED

• 0: not set (might be needed though!)
• 1: initmyrand(-1) sets rseed
• 2: longinitmyrand() based on seedin sets rseed
• 4: longinitmyrand() based on seedin sets rseed

###NSTEPS / MAXNSTEPS

• 0: arg_load() sets A.nsteps
• 1: readordef_param_int() sets maxnsteps
• 2: A[0]->nsteps is set, but not used; MAXCONSTEPS is a hard coded const, value 10,000,000
• 4: setupSMol() sets R.maxnsteps using read_param_int()

###NTRIALS

• 0: not set
• 1: readordef_param_int() sets rlim
• 2: not needed (?)
• 4: not needed (always 1)

###GAQNN

• 0: not needed
• 1: not needed
• 2: not needed
• 4: read_param_int()

###GRANULAR

_This is used for the `granular_SM' experiment in the ALife Journal paper

• 0: not set
• 1: readordef_param_int() sets A.granular_1
• 2: not set
• 4: not set

###NCON

• 0: not needed
• 1: not needed
• 2: NCON initialised to 4, then read_param_int("NCONTAINERS")
• 4: not needed (but similar to popsize)
