1) Press play. Land will be generated. 2) Press space to generate a new terrain if you like. 3)??? 4) Place 5 rivers by clicking where you would like the source. The river will flow down hill towards the ocean. Fresh water is very important for your critters. Make sure they have a lot. 5) Place 2 herds of herbivores. Watch them populate the Earth. 6) Place down a carnivore pack. Watch them control the herbivore population. Green earth has more vegetation than brown/grey earth. Herbivores will eat the vegetation but it will replenish after time. Only one feature is passed down to the child generation. Each child is up to 5% larger or smaller than its parent. Larger Herbivores: 1) Make bigger targets 2) Consume food faster and therefor produce more offspring. Larger Carnivores: 1) Move faster. 2) Are more likely to intersect with an herbivore and therefor make better hunters 3) Require more food to survive. 4) Take longer to have children.
Which trait is better for survival? Will your creatures get larger or smaller over several generations?
