The Life Engine

[alooinfinite]

The life engine is a 2d grid simulation of evolution that updates every frame; It consists of 8 building cells and a few settings which includes but is not limited to:
Cells:
Food cells can be consumed by organisms to reproduce consuming an equal amount of food to their cell count to do so (Doesn't extend their lifespans)
Mouth cells eats adjacent food blocks
Producer cells have a chance every frame to produce food on adjacent empty cells
Mover cells allow for movement
Eye cells tell the organisms where to move based on what cells it sees (Only works with mover cells)
Killer cells harm any adjacent organisms (Except for the one it belongs to)
Armor cells are immune to the killer cells.

Settings:
Probability of a producer cell to produce food
The lifespan of an organism (Standard is 100 frames)
The maximum amount of organisms (Standard is -1 or infinity)
Whether mover cells can rotate an organism (Standard is true)
Mutation type probabilities (Standard is all equal)
The rate at which food is magically created (standard is 0)
The extra cost to reproduce with a mover cell (Standard is 0).

The game is available for free online through the link https://thelifeengine.net/ Please do check it out as it was a passion project by emergent programs that has captivated me and I hope it could do the same for you, plus it is due for a big update sometime in August for the 5 year anniversary. (I have lost more hours than I would like).

Thank you for reading this enjoy the rest of your life, and alway remember cats purs can reduce stress, anxiety, and blood pressure in humans.
