The main focus of this version was to make the simulation more transparent by increasing the amount of information about what's going on.
Copied from changelog:
v 0.02 (ALPHA):
- Added ability to load/save species (major improvement for testing).
- Added tool to edit attributes of live organisms.
- Improved the attribute editor.
- Some of the world/model parameters are now editable by user.
- Added some simple world status information on status bar.
- Fixed misc. bugs.
The purpose of this release is just to generate some interest (hopefully leading to some other Java programmer becoming interested ;-) ), and to showcase what this project is about.
Challenge: Try to create an ecosystem with a herbivore feeding on a plant system, and have both species healthily reproducing.
