Life in your pocket

Under you eyes you see a tiny strange world, where artificial life evolves as we speak. Driven by natural selection

The creature you witness at the beginning is randomly generated. But it only wants two things: eat and reproduce. Every creature has it`s very own genome. They all differ from speed, max size, the range of their vision and so on. When they eat enough, they split and create a child. In most cases it will be a identical clone of the partent but there is a small chance, that a mutation happens. Will the child be more successful as the last generation? And what about the other islands of food far from the parents colony. Might it present a possible new habitat? What will evolve? And which creatures will become extinct? And what happens if one eventually grows especially large teeth and hunger? Let`s find out...

Controls:

1. Info about creature              Left click  on creature
2. Info about next creature    Right click  anywhere / Left click on INFO
3. Change simulation speed   Left click  on gamespeed / press 0-8

Goal:

1. Create a stable colony of creatures
2. The more stable your creatures survive and reproduce, the more money you get to upgrade and change the genom of a creature of your choice

INFOs:

• Evolving higher speed, vision or similar skills will require additional energy so the creature has to eat more to stay alive
• A mutation is displayed in the name of the creature. A small mutation changes the species (2. part of the name) a huge mutation changes the family of the creature (1. part of the name)
• The colored circles represent areas of food. They are randomly generated and differ by range of foodspawning, kind of food and amount of food. They represent isolated islands.
• The closer the color of the creature is to the color of the food, the better the creature can digest it.
• To see signs of allopatric speciaten and other signs of evolution, let the simulation run for some time on high speed and compare the creatures in the beginning with the creatures you observe now. How did they addept?

Witness great smallness!
