This is interactive cells ecosystem simulation.

This is implementation of the cells genetic algorithm with natural selection in a virtual world. The world is a 2D grid of cells closed along the x axis.

The world is somewhat like a cross-section of a small reservoir, like lake or jar with watter.

• World 2D
• World closed along the x axis
• There are live cells. They can:
  • born (in several ways)
  • die of lack of food, after death, the cell turns into organic matter
  • die from old age, after death, the cell turns into organic
  • eat food. Food for cells can be:
    • light
    • organic
    • another live cell
  • be eaten by another cell
  • actions, diet and properties of the cell are determined by the genome
  • the genome of the cell can mutate, or it can remain the same
• Organic has a gravity and fall down to the bottom
• Light falls from above and with each passed cell its power becomes less and less
