DNA

How DNA will play a role in the offspring collection.

Breedy Birds have four base pairs that are concatenated with hyphens and then hashed using the . Base pairs are pairs of two capital letters: A, B, and C. Each pair represents a visual attribute of the offspring DNA: Beak, Body, Eyes, and Head.

Six varieties of each visual attribute will be commissioned to represent all unique letter pairings: AA, AB, AC, BB, BC, and CC. Therefore, offspring will be generated by sampling a random letter from each of its parents' base pairs. Offspring DNA will be generated by concatenating their parents' DNA hashes and running that through the SHA1 hashing algorithm: sha1(<male dna>-<female dna>).

For example, let's say Breedy Bird #01 breeds with Breedy Bird #04:

  • #01 base pairs: BA-CB-CB-CC

  • #01 DNA: 1b8e98d6cc666bfd6a64cda64cedee514da4b07a

  • #04 base pairs: AC-CC-AB-CB

  • #04 DNA: a9686e968ef0dbf77ef6ee83346ca20abb008567

  • Offspring possible beaks: AA, AB, AC, BC

  • Offspring possible bodies: BC, CC

  • Offspring possible eyes: AB, AC, BB, BC

  • Offspring possible heads: BC, CC

  • Number of possible combinations: 64

  • Offspring DNA: 79894f15561725a16c0561d8dafa6d9dc72ea8d6

All of this is being done to ensure that offspring are generated in a totally deterministic and verifiable manner.
