Cells simulation

 

Cells simulation

Unity

It was a fun project to watch how it simulates mini-world where I created two types of entities: plants and cell-like 'animals'. Each 'animal' has it's own genetic traits such as: 

• baseSpeed, 
• baseSize, 
• color, 
• seeDistance, 
• seeDistanceAsleep, 
• seeInterval, 
• seeIntervalAsleep, 
• attack, 
• healSpeed, 
• energyLeftForChildren, 
• childrenCount,
• energyReserve, 
• wanderChance, 
• baseAge, 
• chanceToGetSick
• and many more were planned... 

Each 'animal' Starts with full energy bar and does these things: 

• searches for smaller animals to eat, 
• searches for nearest plant to eat, 
• searches for mating partner,
• sleeps,
• wanders,
• flees from bigger enemies.

Plants get spawned at fixed interval at random locations.

Cells' children inherit parent traits.

Conclusion: simulation needs more tweaking, as most of the time all '[animals' die, because food is not nearby.

In video I was speeding up the simulation, this is why it lagged.
