Living Space

Welcome to Living Space! This is a simulation of a small ecosystem where creatures interact with each other and their environment. Each creature has a unique personality based on the Big Five personality trait that influences how they walk and interact with other creatures. For example a very caring creature gets very attracted to other creatures or a more introverted creature will avoid other creatures and stay more in place.

The idea is that over time you will have a living colorful ecosystem that will change and adapt over time all based on the initial creatures you create. Resembling the way our society works and interacts with each other.

Ideas

• procreate with other creatures
• on death explode color to neighboring tiles
• add anti-aliasing
• Running canvas state on a server
• Make steps independent of fps
• Animated creatures instead of pixels (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlfh_rv6khY)
