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)
