Creating An Ecosystem Simulation Game In 6 Months
Creating An Ecosystem Simulation Game In 6 Months
In this video, I detail my process of prototyping an Ecosystem Simulation Game by showing a broader step-by-step process of how I create it. Then I run a couple simulations and watch the creatures go through the process of evolution and share a few of my personal thoughts and mental struggles that accompanied me on this journey.

Selfish Gene: amzn.to/49isEny
Basics of Programming: amzn.to/42HDOzC
Chapters:
0:00 Intro/Exposition
2:14 Beginning the project
2:55 Designing the creature
5:36 An Important lesson from Coevolution
7:47 Designing the plants
9:20 Procedurally generated terrain
10:17 How it works
11:46 Simulations
Additional Information/Disclaimer:
Currently, the phenotypes of the creatures aren't procedural enough as there are only 5 possible torsos, with varying degrees of Storage. This may skew the weight, which impacts the speed. I'll fix this if I ever do a part two.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video!

    Your math is off. To find the probability of a 1% chance of an event per time unit you take the precentage change that the event will not happen to the power of the number of time units and then subtract that from 1 to get the probability. 0.99^10=0,90438207500880449001 1-0,90438207500880449001=0,09561792499119550999 Meaning that the chance of death for the predator per offspring is approximately 9.6%. The difference here us small, only about 0.4%, but the more time units that pass the more it diverges. For example, by your equation after eating 100 aggressive cubes and having 10 offspring there would have been a 100% chance that the predator dies, while in reality it would work out like this: 0.99^100=0,36603234127322950493061602657252 1-0,36603234127322950493061602657252=0,63396765872677049506938397342748 Meaning that there would only be approximately a 63.4% that the predator would have died by the time they have 10 offspring.

    Why dont you create atoms and let the atoms create molecules and those molecules create proteins, enzymes..., and then those things create cells, and those cells create organisms... and you get the idea.

    A lot of times people forget an important fact when it comes to an ecosystem. SPACE. Space is extremely important for a self sustaining ecosystem. The creatures need to migrate for food or hunting giving, giving plants space to breath before being eaten

    Ist the growth of the trees somehow realted to the creatures? E.g. the more and bigger the creatures the more they poo which acts as fertilzer to make plants grow better? Or maybe even after thier life the creatures become fertilizer for the plants? This could be a key to make it cycle forever.

    * looks at pinned comment * Overly pretentious?? Who said that?!? You don't sound pretentious at all. Keep doing what you're doing! Your tone, in my opinion, is gentle yet deeply fascinated and passionate about your work. For me, it evokes the same feeling - though I may be biased because I already deeply love anything to do with biology and natural history anyways. But still! Don't worry about your voice. That 'constructive criticism' is completely unfounded and not applicable to your video or your delivery.

    Interesting relationship between predator / prey / plants I hadn't considered but makes absolute sense in hindsight. Looking at US, Yellowstone, Grey Wolves, they don't hunt randomly, since if their intended lunch is healthy, it can fight back and risk wounds for the wolf on top of caloric reserves lost in the attempted hunt. Consequently the wolves target the very old, very young, sick (mosquitoes, starvation, etc), wounded (springtime mating fights, twisted ankle from stepping in a gopher hole while running, frostbite, etc). So, Eater get weaker when food supply decreases from Eater's over population. Weaker ones (N < 1) are eaten while N'th value strong / healthy ones (N = 1) are not. The hindsight realization is that predators defend plant populations by eating herbivores.
