Which of the following are common software-based ALife?
A. 1. program-based: cellular automata, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent system/program.
B. 2. module-based: individual modules are added to a creature, which modify the creature's behaviors and characteristics either directly or indirectly, e.g. various simulators.
C. 3. parameter-based: organisms are generally constructed with pre-defined and fixed behaviors that are controlled by various parameters that mutate.
