An Evolution Simulation

[Azedenkae]

Whilst going through some webpages earlier today, I found one that was quite very interesting. Whilst limited, it did show many aspects of natural selection, including how different factors can affect how well a species adapt and survive. And it also includes mutation, which occurs every once in a while randomly.

The organisms are basically just squiggles that move at different speeds and have different sizes and eat green squares, which regenerates. Anyways, take a look and check it out.

Note that Dietmar Jarosch created this, I just coincidentally found it.

So, what you guys think? I didn't include everything yet as I want to see your views first, but once posts comes in, we can discuss the thing.

What happens if you let it run for several hours?
i mean... after about 5 minutes they seem to reach a point where they no longer need to evolve or something, and they don't seem to have very many useful if any useful mutations..


Oh yeah also, if the food wasn't random; say it formed every other centimeter in a row, or something like that, this could make it more interesting, because it would effect how the turn after they get some food.
