    1.11 +
    1.12 +* Intro 
    1.13 +So far, I've made the following senses -- 
    1.14 + - Vision
    1.15 + - Hearing
    1.16 + - Touch
    1.17 + - Proprioception
    1.18 +
    1.19 +And one effector: 
    1.20 + - Movement
    1.21 +
    1.22 +However, the code so far has only enabled these senses, but has not
    1.23 +actually implemented them.  For example, there is still a lot of work
    1.24 +to be done for vision. I need to be able to create an /eyeball/ in
    1.25 +simulation that can be moved around and see the world from different
    1.26 +angles. I also need to determine weather to use log-polar or cartesian
    1.27 +for the visual input, and I need to determine how/wether to
    1.28 +disceritise the visual input.
    1.29 +
    1.30 +I also want to be able to visualize both the sensors and the
    1.31 +effectors in pretty pictures. This semi-retarted creature will by my
    1.32 +first attempt at bringing everything together.
    1.33 +
    1.34 +* The creature's body
    1.35 +
    1.36 +Still going to do an eve-like body in blender, but due to problems
    1.37 +importing the joints, etc into jMonkeyEngine3, I',m going to do all
    1.38 +the connecting here in clojure code, using the names of the individual
    1.39 +components and trial and error. Later, I'll maybe make some sort of
    1.40 +creature-building modifications to blender that support whatever
    1.41 +discreitized senses I'm going to make.
