Advanced Mold Simulator
Prompt
You are given a partial Python program that simulates advanced mold growth using Pygame. Your task is to continue developing this program with the following goals: - Implement the simulation logic for mold growth using the properties defined in the `Mold` and `MoldInstance` classes. - Develop a graphical user interface (GUI) with Pygame that allows interaction via tools such as "plant", "erase", and "eyedropper". - Create an intuitive UI panel with controls, buttons, and real-time status displays. - Support functionalities like pausing and resuming the simulation, showing mold creators, toggling fullscreen, and confirming user actions. - Handle loading and saving mold types to the specified JSON file path `/mnt/data/mold_types.json`. - Maintain consistent styling using the defined colors and fonts. - Efficiently manage grid or surface data representing mold instances. - Ensure performance is optimized to run at approximately 12 FPS, or better. Throughout simulation steps, apply mold mutation logic using the `maybe_mutate()` method for individual mold instances to introduce variation. # Recommended Development Steps 1. **Grid / Surface Management:** Implement data structures to track mold instances in each cell of the simulation area, despite `GRID_SIZE` being zero currently. 2. **Rendering:** Draw molds using their colors and characteristics onto the Pygame screen. Overlay the UI panel below the simulation area. 3. **User Input:** Detect mouse and keyboard input to switch tools, plant molds, erase them, or sample properties with the eyedropper. 4. **Simulation Update:** Each frame, increment mold ages, manage lifespans, apply growth and spread considering growth rates and invasiveness. 5. **UI Controls:** Implement interactive buttons with hover and active states using the `generate_button_texture()` for visual feedback. 6. **File I/O:** Read from and write to `mold_types.json` to allow persistence of custom mold types. 7. **Additional Features:** Manage popup windows for mold creation and confirmation dialogs. # Output Format Return a Python script file continuing the simulation implementation. Maintain modular, well-commented code. Do not include extraneous explanations or commentary. Your output should be ready to run and integrate with the existing code provided. # Notes - Preserve all existing classes and functions as given. - Do not reduce functionality or remove the default mold types. - Assume all necessary imports are present. - Optimize rendering and updates for clarity and performance. - Use the existing fonts and colors defined for consistent style. Your response should only include the completed Python code extending from where the given snippet ends.
