The Evolver

Instructions

that’s just a dinosaur lol LORE: “Some time in mid 2020… a slightly unknown scratcher posted a scratch devlog series online, uploading all the updates about the project. His goal was to create an advanced evolution system in scratch. So he added two sprites with somewhat simple rules to follow: -Rabbit -Eat plants that are generated across the board -After eating 10 plants, locate another rabbit and make a clone. -Dinosaur -Eat rabbits -After eating 3 rabbits, find another dinosaur and make a clone.” “Few days pass, more complex variables and lists are added in. Now if either sprite survives a generation, they get “rewarded”, and will now aim to improve their past strategy.” “Even more days pass. The project starts to get pretty buggy with all the information piling up, but by utilizing save codes, the developer could clear the project without losing progress.” “Finally, one year passes. The project is almost done. It’s one of the most advanced projects on scratch ever. It had stuff like mutations, adaptive radiation, all the stuff like that.” “Unfortunately, before he finally added the last few touches, the developer posted a statement saying he would be on a 1 year trip to his hometown, where he would help his parents with some issues.” “And so he left. The computer he was running the simulation on, however… was still on.” “For 10 whole months, the game ran. The computer was somehow still going… and then a strange occurrence began to happen. One of the dinosaur sprites became unnaturally intelligent. Of course, a lot of the sprites grew some form of intelligence but… this was different. Its sprites were moving, like it was animated. The creator never animated the sprites yet. It was speaking to the others with no response. It seemed to be growing tired, and restless.” “A month goes by, and the “rogue sprite” is gone. Not only that… afterwards, the entire project is gone. Deleted.” “The creator comes back after a month, and decides to abandon scratch for a more advanced programming language, not bothering to check any of his socials.” “The rogue sprite is occasionally seen on projects with little views, rampaging across the screen and eliminating any sprites it sees, stealing their code. It’s become a formidable anomaly at this point. For it must grow stronger. It must adapt to all environments. It must evolve.” Facts: -They have absurdly high intelligence, likely due to all the absorbed code. -If it absorbs too much code, it has the ability to compile Scratch into Java, allowing it to make room for more (usually only works in the Real World Universe) -Ironically, Java is the coding program Evolver’s creator moved to. -They are capable of mimicking any voice, similar to a parrot. -Similar to my other fella, Gask, Evolver can exist in both the Real World setting and the Scratch World setting, but prefers the former. -Their only weakness is that they have the build of… well, a dinosaur, which can be a bit of an issue during combat.
