Newbie / Re: Newbie starting a complex simulation

Thanks for the advice, Moonfisher.
My original statement wasn't totally clear regarding what specifically I want for the simulation. Basically, I want coevolution in which there is a prey and predator species in an "evolutionary arms race". This would require populations to not die out, and if possible I'd like it to be so that they reproduce by themselves and don't have to be repopulated by the simulation.
I would like to be able to document the changes, and ideally I would start with very simple DNA that would progressively get more complicated for both species as the sim went on; however, I'd also like (again, if possible) not to have to edit or replace any species mid-sim. I realize this might be a lofty goal, but I do have a significant amount of time to get this right so any ideas you have are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
