Creation, Proliferation and Destruction of life, simulated
Life simulator simulates real-world cycle of life, going through birth, life (resource-consumption, reproduction, movement, predation) and death by using tiny dots.
The dots have Energy which needs to be kept up to survive. The energy is acquired by consuming resources (food) spread unevenly across the land. The dots also have a life span, expiry of which, results in death, as much as voiding of their energy does.
The dots can sometimes shift to predatory-mood, choosing to kill and salvage resources of their fellows.
The dots have senses which are directed in four directions, sensing the food and other dots around them. Using the experience (learning through experience) they move around using their senses.
The dots can also reproduce, after hitting a specific energy level, age and a mood - creating multiple children which inherits traits of their parent with slightly random difference.
The dots also have a characteristic, named size which denotes the size of the dot - indicating their strength. The size also affects their energy consumption.
Another interesting characteristics is social interaction. If one dot is seen running out of energy, a kin (dictated by their virtual DNA) can help it. The helped dot will interact and will learn some behaviors of the helper (which may primarily result in the former following the latter).
