been thinking alot lately :P...

ok, lets get to it.

anyone ever heard of blender?
its a program that you can use to make 3d objects and things.
well, I was thinking that if someone spent enough time on it they could make a gigantic sphere with different elevations in different areas, then tiny spheres in low elevations.

someone could place it all in a program that acted just like DB, but with some differences-

-elevations below 200(or whatever you choose) are underwater
-light decreases intensity underwater by a factor of your choice
-anything above 200 is land
-above an elevation of your choice it starts to get colder and there is less atmosphere
-at  high elevations there is little atmosphere and the ground is ice
-at super low elevations (like a trench at the bottom of the ocean) there are hotspots and the water is toxic around them(just like hydrothermal vents)
-mitosis causes almost no mutation(unless there is a large amount of toxicity in the water)
-meiosis(or sexrepro.) causes some mutation
-the sim starts with 200 veggies and 100 animals(or however much you want) in every body of water
-every pond, lake, or ocean is surrounded by a flat area, hills, then mountains, ensuring diversity by keeping populations seperate untill they can cross the highlands
-there is no repop, so if anything happens to the veggies in a pond it will become steril and lifeless untill another type of alga enters the pond

this is just an outline, sort of based on the planets on Spore.

so do you think it is possible?

I was working on a project like that for a while.  Check it out here.  Got as far as elevation.

So yeah, you can do it, it's just a lot of work.
