Fitness function encourages death

[TurnTheTideTM]

WHG/Player.js

if (this.deathByDot) {
      estimatedDistance *= 0.9;
}
this.fitness = 1.0/(estimatedDistance * estimatedDistance);

Not sure if this is intentional, but death seems to increase the fitness (by decreasing the estimated distance to goal).

Yeah I found the same.
After running the AI for hours in practice it seems that caring or not caring does not have as much impact as you would assume and that not caring seems to be the best option.
