Well, remaining at the top is the first good thing, could you take a screenshot and attach it?

All right, I got a snapshot. I guess there's always the ones that travel to the bottom too. Perhaps this could be some type of life cycle thing to them, as in, they float down, feed on corpses until they're full, and then float up and absorb sunlight until they can reproduce?

thats very likely because of how I programmed the DNA, although it didn't work exactly as I planned (im also not sure if I actually ended up including shooting corpses? but corpses shoot out waste so meh) but I used their current bouyancy and Y position to decide how more bouyant they needed to be, so it does increase probability they'd float up and down a bit.
Does look pretty cool in the snapshot, how they're in the sort of groups. Its turning into quite an interesting vegetable actually.
P.S. Do you know any way to introduce another species into an already running simulation?
spork22:
As in, adding another one to the list of ones that you can put in and then continuing the simulation as if nothing happened?

Yep. After we've run it for a bit longer im thinking of adding in a 2nd vegetable and a predator. Because reed has no defence, Im going to select a vegetable that can defend itself, so that cuts back numbers meaning that reed will only be suppressed, not extinct.
I already think I might have selected a suitable 2nd plant, but a predator im still mulling over.
