Hi - just a quick question, is ODE deterministically consistent? In =
other words will it (even in complex systems) always produce the same =
results?
I think it does - but for the life of me I cannot figure out why my AIs =
don't always perform the same on the system.
I'm reasonably certain that all the code maintains the "elite" AI =
correctly, yet it does not always do things as well with each run. Maybe =
it is because I don't "reset" the system correctly, currently I set all =
objects to their original position, set velocity to zero and set all =
amotor-joint-velocities to zero.
Am I missing something?
thanks
Henri
