The project, launched by Chris Crawford, is a remake of his environmental simulation game "Balance of the Planet". The complete game mechanics will be rewritten from the original sources and additional resources will be added (images, sounds, music...)

This project is a modification of the original evolution simulation & artificial life project by Joan Queralt Molina: https://sourceforge.net/projects/biogenesis/ In both, the original project and this modification, 2-dimensional organisms consisting of line segments interact with each other, reproduce and evolve in time. Compared to the original project, this modification explores the following features: * alternative mutation mechanisms * an alternative stress-based aging mechanism It is based on the new_design branch of Biogenesis (https://sourceforge.net/p/biogenesis/git/ci/new_design/tree/), its source code can be obatained from http://sourceforge.net/p/biogenesisxmod/code/ci/xmod/tree/ If you want to post a review, remember that this is only a modification, so comment on my changes, not on the simulation.
