9 * Intro
10 So far, I've made the following senses --
11 - Vision
12 - Hearing
13 - Touch
14 - Proprioception
15
16 And one effector:
17 - Movement
18
19 However, the code so far has only enabled these senses, but has not
20 actually implemented them. For example, there is still a lot of work
21 to be done for vision. I need to be able to create an /eyeball/ in
22 simulation that can be moved around and see the world from different
23 angles. I also need to determine weather to use log-polar or cartesian
24 for the visual input, and I need to determine how/wether to
25 disceritise the visual input.
26
27 I also want to be able to visualize both the sensors and the
28 effectors in pretty pictures. This semi-retarted creature will by my
29 first attempt at bringing everything together.

31 * The creature's body
32
33 Still going to do an eve-like body in blender, but due to problems
34 importing the joints, etc into jMonkeyEngine3, I',m going to do all
35 the connecting here in clojure code, using the names of the individual
36 components and trial and error. Later, I'll maybe make some sort of
37 creature-building modifications to blender that support whatever
38 discreitized senses I'm going to make.
