A connection instance defines the connection between two nodes. All you have to do is pass on a from and to node, and optionally a weight.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var B = new Node();
|
||
|
|
var C = new Node();
|
||
|
|
var connection = new Connection(A, B, 0.5);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

from | connection origin node
|

to | connection destination node
|
||
|
|
weight | the weight of the connection
|
||
|
|
gater | the node gating this connection
|
||
|
|
gain | for gating, gets multiplied with weight

### Connection methods
|
||
|
|
There are three connection methods:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **methods.connection.ALL_TO_ALL** connects all nodes from group `x` to all nodes from group `y`
|
||
|
|
* **methods.connection.ALL_TO_ELSE** connects every node from group `x` to all nodes in the same group except itself
|
||
|
|
* **methods.connection.ONE_TO_ONE** connects every node in group `x` to one node in group `y`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every one of these connection methods can also be used on the group itself! (`x.connect(x, METHOD)`)
