Run a Simulation
Use this page to create a lifeform of your own. Lifeforms may only be created
using the simple instructions given below. More complex ones may be added in
future.
Once you have created your lifeform, go to World Setup
to set up a simulation involving your new lifeform.
If your lifeform does well, please
email the details to me, and I will include it on this website for others to try.
Example: Tribble
Note: the values used below are multiplied by 10, so that only whole numbers need be used.
if energy > 69 then reproduce(anyfree)
if grass < 10 then move(anyfree)
sitstill
In this example, if the tribble has an energy level greater than 69, it will reproduce
into any empty cell next to it. If the energy is less than or equal to 69, the condition on line
1 is false, and so the next line is evaluated. If the amount of grass in the cell is less than
10 the tribble will move, otherwise the next line is evaluated, and since this line is unconditional
this action (sitstill) will always be performed. Thus it would be pointless to add any further
lines after line 3, as they would never be reached.
