#MY SPORE CREATIONS CODE#

Without going into too much detail, I became very excited, and decided to let this simulation run during the morning (I had stayed up until 5 AM), while I went to bed. They formed a weird symbiosis, where the cell that would normally flee, would now move towards places where the toxins are, and the other cell would consume the toxins and provide the “mover” with some of the energy. Eventually these type of cells would attach to one another. They stayed close together, and helped each other. The cells that escaped from the toxin grouped up with the cells that utilized the toxins. The ones that grew resistance would eventually grow to utilize the toxins products.Įventually I noticed something interesting. Some grew a response to flee when they encountered these toxins. With the first predators, diversity in this little world rapidly increased. I noticed that other cells died as a result of this, to which the other cells responded by usurping the building blocks they had created from energy. Running the simulation for a few centuries (a few minutes in real life), created cells that made massive amounts of specific waste products on purpose. However, I noticed something fascinating. Yet others developed chemicals to clean up the waste products. Others responded by producing something to emit the waste. I noticed that some cells responded to this by producing less waste. I decided to expand the physics system, and force the cells to create waste products, that were toxic and would kill them. It was very boring, but it worked I guess. My world within a few minutes would always fill with these cells, after which they would mutate, and the most efficient cell in converting energy from the sun into useful substances for division would survive. I guess you could call them my eukaryotes.

They lived of off the energy emitted by my sun, and had a “genetic” code that coded for the substances produced by the cells. I decided to create simple basic cells from scratch, that were “hardcoded” so to speak in the system I was designing. I simulated energy, and matter, and created a simple system, with a sun emitting energy, circled by a planet catching said energy. When it comes down to it, physics is simply complex mathematics. I know little of physics but decided to study it, and try to create a simplified version in which certain particles can interact, in specific manners. To do this, I began by generating a physics system. What caused Spore to be such a failure is the lack of realistic control people had. A game in which you do not control individual people, but an entire Earth! I came to the conclusion that I had to develop a game similar to Spore, in which the player subtly “guides” evolution. You have complete control over people’s lives.īefore the Sims, there was Sim Earth. I looked at games like the Sims, and noticed what made them so popular is not just the illusion of control, but the degree of control.
