NAME

Acme::BloodType - For those obsessed with celebrities' blood types

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Allows you to model people with different blood-types and see what would happen if they had a kid. Alpha version handles ABO only for now.

  use Acme::BloodType;

  # Hooray for gene sequencers
  $mary = Acme::BloodType->new({ genotype => "AA" });
  $bill = Acme::BloodType->new({ phenotype => "O" });

  $baby = $mary->cross($bill);

  print "It's a ", $baby->get_bloodtype, "!\n";

METHODS

Acme::BloodType->`new(\%specifier)`

Create an Acme::Bloodtype object representing a person. You may specify genotype, phenotype (in which case a genotype is chosen at random), or nothing, in which case it's all random. Probabilities don't (yet) model real-world distributions.

$bt->get_bloodtype

Get the bloodtype (phenotype) of this person. Returns ``A'', ``B'', ``AB'', or ``O''.

$bt->get_genotype

Get the genotype of this person. Returns a string of two characters, which may be ``A'', ``B'', or ``O''.

$bt1->`cross($bt2)`

``Mate'' one person with the other, producing a result chosen randomly in the style of Mendel.
