configuration file events configuration file An events configuration file is a configuration file that controls the events that need to occur throughout the course of an experiment in Avida. This file consists of a list of events that will be triggered either singly or periodically. The format for each line is: 'type' 'timing' 'event' 'arguments'. The type determines what kind of timings the event will be based off of (i.e., immediate [i], based on update [u], or based on generation [g]). The timing should only be included for non-immediate events. If a single number is given for timing, the event occurs at that update/generation. A second number can be included (separated by a colon ':') to indicate how often the event should be repeated. And if a third number is listed (again, colon seperated) this will be the last time the event can occur on. The event is simply the name of the action that should be performed, and the arguments detail exactly how it should work when it is triggered.
