Circles (SWARMERS) These are herbivores, they eat the green plants. When they are full (the colour white) they can approach another full circle and produce another circle. If they don't feed often enough, they might die. Squares (STALKERS) The predators who eat the swarmers. They go through the same stages of hunger as the circles, and are used to keep their population in check. Statistics If you wish to kill anything on your screen, press the 1 key and then click the square, circle or plant you wish to kill. To feed them to maximum fullness, press the 2 key and click on them. If what you are feeding is a plant, it will be set to full size. To spawn circles, predators and plants respectively, press 3, 4 and 5. To kill everything, press 0. To kill all swarmers, stalkers and plants respectively press 9, 8 and 7. To hide the statistics, click space. To show it, click hold space down and release, be wary, though. That part is a little glitchy. Game Sit and watch the action unfold, for over this small world you are God.
This is an Engine meant to simulate the relationship between predator, prey and producer in an ecosystem, not a game, and so you can remix it and replace the circles and squares with all manner of critters. Just be sure to to give credit! UPDATE APRIL 30th 2018 Everything now has a cool see-through effect and spawner keys have been added. UPDATE SEPTEMBER 8th 2018 More dynamic and improved spawning, makes the organisms undergo a childhood and have different aging size potentials, added in plant breeding and you can now kill all organisms of a species by pressing certain buttons listed in the Instructions area.
