Instructions

KEY ---- Please type a u before an uppercase letter and an l before a lowercase letter to make the code work properly :) (ex. uB for B, lb for b) BB, Bb, Bb1: Black color bb, bb1: Brown/ Chocolate color b1b1: Cinnamon color OO, O: Orange color (which will cover black color) oo, o: No orange color (Allowing only black color types to be seen) Oo: Calico/Tortie color/Bicolor black and orange DD, Dd: Non-diluted color dd: Dilute/lighter color AA, Aa: Tabby pattern aa: Solid color/ No tabby pattern WdWd, WdWs, Wdnw: All White body with blue eyes (in real life, this cat would likely have impaired hearing from birth) WsWs: Larger white spots Wsnw: Smaller white spots nwnw: no white The top 2 purple blocks will randomize the father and mother cats and the pink button will create one genetically possible kitten randomly chosen out of the kittens the 2 parents could create. To customize the parents' genes the clicking the four circles beneath will allow you to edit the Black, Orange, Dilute, and Agouti/tabby genes respectively. Because the code didnt seem to understand the difference between the upper and lower case letter, to indicate an uppercase it must be written as uB and a lowercase would begin with an l like lb. A male cat has one orange (O, o) Gene. A female cat has two (OO, Oo, oo) if you notice any combos not working as they should, lmk :)

Description

if you have trouble figuring out what gene code your parent cats might be I can certainly help you if you comment :) 01/29/23 Dominant White and White spotting gene added! Yay! According to my understanding, the white spotting gene doesn't /really/ dictate the size of the spots. Because of this, I've chosen to make the size of the white spots random when a cat has the white spotting gene, this means that one gene code has multiple different visualizations on the cat. For example, the genes WsWs can be a white belly on the cat OR an almost entirely white body. According to Julia Wilson's article "What is the White Spotting Gene in Cats?" (found at this link: https://cat-world.com/what-is-the-white-spotting-gene-in-cats/) There is anecdotal evidence to suggest a cat with WsWs genes will have a greater amount of white on their body compared to a cat with the Wsnw gene. Despite the evidence just being anecdotal, I decided to implement it anyway since it gives some structure to the randomness, and I thought it was interesting :D
