Project Notes

this isnt made by the first maker. He is a absolute Genius!! i tryed to improve it by adding a predator. hope u like it!


This is an experiment in Artificial Life...feed the bugs by clicking the mouse on the stage. This version has reproducing bugs...it is somewhat laggy though, and I had to scrap the footprints. The Bug ====== + Eats green "Plants" when it is hungry (low on energy) + Shows it's energy state by the green beads on it's back...more beads, higher energy + Finds plants with its antenae + Remembers and returns to the last place it ate food, if it doesn't find something to eat within 20 steps. + Burps when it is full and will avoid food until it is hungry again (at half energy level) + Turns grey and stops when it dies + Can be picked up by you, using the mouse + Will have a baby, if it has at least half energy and it is fully grown The Plants ======== + Like to grow next to existing plants but will also spawn new plant colonies + Can be produced by you by clicking on the stage. Hold down the mouse button for a continuous fall of leaves. Possible Improvements: ================= + Evolution with genetic variation and Natural Selection. + Sleep?
