El-Genesis is a simulation built on fundamental biological principles—animals eat, interact, and breed, encapsulating evolution in its most basic form with a singular directive: to breed. This allows us to observe the animals and their behaviors, analyzing which evolve successfully over time and why.
Our exploration begins with the simplest form of animal life, a key link in the biological chain. This foundational animal, equipped with a set of specifically chosen genetic parameters, reproduces, passing these traits to its offspring. This cycle repeats through generations until a mutation occurs, significantly altering an offspring’s traits, such as speed or size, and potentially leading to the emergence of a new species.
These new species then interact within their environments, establishing a dynamic balance in their survival strategies, leading to diverse ecological patterns. This interplay, which we define as an ecosystem, involves animals evolving capabilities and strategies to sustain evolutionary balance.
Key genetic parameters influencing an animal include:
- Vision: Determines how far a creature can see.
- Speed: Affects the creature’s movement speed.
- Range: Limits the distance a creature can travel.
- Size: Controls the physical dimensions of the creature.
