Dependencies
- Online mode: Nakama

Goals
- Hosts have characteristics. When hosts reproduce sexually or asexually, the offspring characteristics are its parent's plus mutations.
- Hosts behaviour code MUST be generic, so we can either implement simple heuristics like state-machines, behaviour trees, utility or try learning AI like reinforcement learning.
- Observers can trigger artificial selection, the goal is to implement actions that offer the possibility to influence evolution. Currently what came to my mind: any way to protect, harm, heal, feed ... some species
Non-goals
- Simulating nature at the quantum level
