Originally a final project for a university bioinformatics course, this artificial life simulator has now been completely retooled as a full-blown lesson in evolution and population genetics. As with most artificial life simulators, a set of simple artificial creatures compete for limited resources. Each creature has a strand of pseudo-DNA that determines three basic attributes: size, speed, and range (how far it can see)…
