If you ever wanted to be the master of your own universe,
here's the program for you...
Bugglings is a program based on the Computer Recreations
column in theMay 1989 issue of Scientific American.
This program simulates life ina test tube, with tiny
bugs swimming around, feeding on food particles.
The bugs are driven by a set of 9 genes that determine
how
they swim about in the test tube. As the bugs feed on
food particles,grow fat and fission into new bugs.
When this happens, the two new bugsretain most of the
genetic features of the parent bug, but one of them
is slightly mutated.
Through the course of several generations, bugs will
evolve survivaltraits based on their environment. Some
bugs will "learn" where foodshows up, moving
in those areas only. Some evolve into bugs that can
rapidly cover large distances, searching for food.
Others will evolve into carnivores that feed on their
weaker neighbors. You can affect the evolution of your
bugs by modifying their environment while the simulation
is running.
