Hello,
me and Oldes wrote some kind of cellular automat based on our own rules,
you can program your own 'cells', they can 'evolve' somehow, you can
have different 'species' of 'cells' - we've programmed 'growing grass',
'vegetarians' (they eat just grass) and one 'predator' (he's eating
other 'cells') but it was never released because of the following reasons:
1) small number of differenten 'species' - we have some 6-7 different
species, most of them are just vegetarians, only one 'predator' and not
very smart :)
2) there's no editor - we just made the engine, to change species or
world's config you have to change sourcecode
3) the GUI makes use of one of the Cyphre's VID-style (I was lazy to
program it by myself ;) but he wants to release them as shareware (well,
his opinion not mine :-(((( ) so I promised I never copy his styles to
anybody. I have to replace that VID-style first (it's tab) before I can
at least publish the unfinished version.
I wanted to make some snaphots but my monitor's broken so I run Windows
in 640x480 and I'm not able to run that script :) I'll make usable
version when I get some useful monitor, I promise :)
If anybody's interested feel free to contact me for more informations.
Bye, bolek
