addedAdd Guides on the main menu that explain the various simulation options and how they work (e.g., brain types, robot types, and environment types)
addedNew simulation option: "Evolve activation functions", allowing evolution to change the activation functions of neurons
addedNew neuroevolution option: "developmental encoding", an indirect encoding that creates neural networks using developmental instructions
addedAnimats can now steal energy when they attack other animats
addedNew neuroevolution option: "Dale NEAT", where neurons can be excitatory/inhibitory and network weights are all positive
addedNew simulation option: "Morphic Fields", this is a population-wide evolutionary memory that is used to bias mutations
