Crash when advancing generation

When simulation is in progress, once the end of the current generation is reached, the app may crash while advancing the simulation to the next generation. This crash does not always occur with every generation (only some of the time), it may be preceded by a hang which may last several seconds, it occurs regardless of simulation speed or model, and it occurs even after a fresh uninstall and reinstall with default settings.

To reproduce:

  1. Uninstall any existing copies of the app.
  2. Use the itch.io app to (re-)install the app.
  3. Start the app.
  4. Load any of the default models. For me, I loaded the default horse model.
  5. Play the simulation.
  6. Optional: increase the steps per frame.
  7. Wait a few generations (could be 1, could be up to several dozen)
  8. The app crashes.

Hi,

I found the issue, but it will take a while to fix. 

I develop on linux and cross-compile to windows so don't always catch these bugs. Now I switched to windows and it will be fixed when I have everything running on the new  environment. 

Thanks for the report!

Hi again, 

There should be no more crashes on windows. The issue is fixed in the latest version that just got uploaded. 

NEAT?
