Evolution Sandbox [DEMO] - Initial Release

This is the Demo for an Evolution Simulator. The only thing in this demo so far is cell mutations that you can play around with.

Important Note

The browser version is really buggy so I strongly advise you to download the .zip and play it as the windows build.

The “Trail Strength” slider does not work in the browser version so it’s turned off to prevent you from crashing the game.

About this release

This is a very early version of an idea I have had for a long time. I’ve always been fascinated by simulations that include evolution in some way, so about 2 weeks ago I was kinda bored and didn’t know what I could do to be somewhat productive again, so I just thought: “What the hell why not try”. This is not even close to an actual simulation yet tho but it’s a good start.

The reason it’s not “functional” yet is that at some point I started to see that this project just moved from I might be able to pull this off to I could actually finish this and that realization hit me so hard that I got annoyed by the way I programmed everything since I was just testing stuff out and not actually thinking about code structure… So I want to start over, but I found it already satisfying to play around with so I came up with the stupid idea to make it a demo and put myself thru a lot of suffering…. The demo is done now tho so now we are gonna start on the fun part insert evil scientist laugh.

Feel free to leave any ideas in the comments. If you want to see way more updates you should definitely join my Discord Community.

To-Do

1. [x] Write a to-do list…
2. Restart the project and fix my spaghetti code
3. Design and program a Reproduction system
   • Add more traits to support the reproductions system
     • Fertility

       • Chance of a succesfull birth +
       • Taking damage while giving birth +
       • Chance of producing more then 1 offspring +
       • More/less likely to take damage for “recless searching to produce”

     • Design the way offspring inherit traits/genes from their parents
4. Implement a Food system to introduce a “challenge” to survive
