Artificial Life

Watch life evolve in the palm of your hand! (And destroy it when it displeases you...)

Oddly hypnotic and relaxing, Artificial Life is a simulation of the growth and evolution of microorganisms - basically artificial life forms. Initially, each organism is given a random set of rules governing its behavior. If the rules end up being useful for survival, the organism may live long enough to mate with another organism and pass its genetic code on to some offspring.

Over time, the organisms with the most useful behaviors will pass on their genetic code, leading to interesting patterns of behavior unfolding before your eyes - flocking behaviors, solitary predatory tactics, scavenging, and hiding are some examples - and all this behavior is evolving from total randomness.

Pan and zoom using using touch and pinch gestures to explore this virtual world. You have control over 10 attributes of the world allowing for much experimentation with this simulation.

You can also edit the individual chromosomes that define the behavior of any particular protozoa.

And, if you don't like how some of the organisms are behaving, you can always resort to the finger of death and destroy that which displeases you.

Queue up some music with your iPod app and then launch this app for some relaxing times in the microscopic world of Artificial Life.

Thank you all for the feedback! It is appreciated. As time and practicality permits, more suggestions will be incorporated into newer updates. You've all suggested lots of great ideas!

TIP: If you would prefer to see fairly rapid population explosions, you can achieve this by adjusting the protozoa's "Max Energy" setting. Choosing a value of 100, rather than the default 200 will achieve the desired effect. Protozoa will be able to reproduce at twice the normal rate, although any one protozoa will have half the normal life span if it does not eat anything and will get hungry at twice the default rate.

What's new

New feature: you can now edit the individual chromosomes that define the behavior of the currently selected protozoa.
