Title: Sandbox civiliztion! Post by: coughee on January 27, 2018, 02:21:26 PM The idea has always attracted me! Create an environment (model it somehow, in a programming language). Define some life form (model their replication, mating, dying etc.) then let them live! Even could model a crypto into it, in order to test how it will be distributed ;D
The more complex their behavior, the more chaotic will the outcome be. But imagine one of these life forms continue to live! How would you feel, as their creator! ;D :) ::) Title: Re: Sandbox civiliztion! Post by: MichaelMeu on January 27, 2018, 02:23:34 PM The idea has always attracted me!

I meant a society with a larger population, not just a single living creature ;D Title: Re: Sandbox civiliztion! Post by: Vod on January 27, 2018, 04:46:53 PM The idea has always attracted me!

Basically, you die from overpopulation or loneliness, otherwise you have a chance to multiply. http://www.d.umn.edu/~weis0258/cs2121/GameOfLife.html https://www.kongregate.com/games/locos/the-game-of-life |
