Artificial life,seriosly.
« on: May 03, 2009, 12:39:13 am »
Aquaria world seems very alive,but mostly its just a decoration.Ok,i love this game.I love artificial life concepts.Aquaria is not about artificial life.
There is some little species in the world of aquaria wich dont appear to be very interactive too.
But,finally,there IS an artificial life!
I dont know how to call those creatures,i call them shrimp.
Ok,the deal is that they can reproduce(by eggs) and they die of aging,though they dont need food to reproduce and to live,they dont suffer of predators,they arent balanced enough to keep their population smoothly still.
Сuriously enough that they feel best in whales stomach,though they reproduce anywhere.
They keep multiplying infinitely.


P.S.
Im kinda late with this.I made this screenshot long ago,but i got problem with my Windows and reinstalled it(curse you Conficker/Kido/Downadup !).

The same happens to the shrimp in right veil area, on the left side of the sun temple.
If you get them in that very narrow and straight part of the fish tunnel that eventually leads to octopus prime, and kill them in the other places, then there will eventually be so many packed at that one part of the tunnel that you see their transparent deaths move upward through the black that can't usually be trespassed . (as if they had souls who went to heaven)

I bet though, it is because they have reached some kind of maximum number, set to prevent the program from bogging up all RAM and CPU cycles like a virus.

I've sat around watching them, and after a while there are so many my fairly substantial PC nearly chokes to death.  It's awesome.
