2.2 KiB

v0.3.0 - Plants Upgrade:

  • Plants: they look silly as they grow; improve structure
    • Maybe be stages of trunk branching: each stage's branches are shorter, thinner and more numerous than the last
  • Reproduction: make sure seeds and mutation is complete
  • Photosynthesis: make them grow off of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water and produce Oxygen
    • Leaves produce more O2, take in more sunlight, CO2, H2O if higher leaf area in sun and color's distance from "ideal" green
  • Nutrients/Toxins:
    • need levels of O2, CO2, H2O in the air
    • need to look into P, S, N2, other elements that could go in soil and water
  • Produce fruit and/or thorns based on genetics
    • fruit will provice nourishment for creatures
    • thorns will deter creatures

v0.4.0 - Creatures Upgrade:

  • Creatures: randomly generated creatures that move around the map
  • They will be able to eat the fruits of plants and the flesh of other creatures
    • will have genetics to determine how much nourishment is needed from fruit and other creatures
    • if a fruit is eaten, there is a chance the creature will poop out a seed with a copy of that plant's genetics (with potential mutations) a little while later
  • Creatures will have bodies generated from simpler shapes and determined by genetics
  • Strength and speed stats are also determined by genetics
    • higher strength and bigger size requires higher nutrition cost
    • higher speed also requires higher nutrition cost
  • Basic neural network brain and state to determine actions

v0.5.0 - Physics Upgrade:

  • Water cycle: rain, evaporation, temperature simulation
    • wind
  • Add woodiness to plants
  • Fire and smoke

v1.0.0 - First release version:

  • Make map shape more irregular around edges and surround with water to make it like an island
  • Saves server and save browser like TPT where users can share saved simulations
  • Register account and login to upload saves to server

Ideas for after v1.0.0

  • More complex creature brains
  • Better textures or models for plants and creatures
  • Sample and save DNA of plants and animals
  • DNA editor for plants and animals
  • Re-investigate allowing saves to have different map dimensions
  • Auto updates
