Artificial Life. The battle of clans

Artificial Life. The battle of clans
A new version of “Artificial Life” for modeling Evolution.
A made-up world with made-up rules inhabited by cells with a genome and the ability to give birth to other cells.
Sometimes mutation occurs and one random digit in the genome changes to another. And then natural selection comes into play…
The script was written based on the results of the simulation, so the story could have been very different.
In the video, emphasis is placed on the “socio-political” interactions of the organisms. To achieve this type of interaction, the organisms were divided into clans.
Although there really isn't any interaction here (there are no built-in opportunities for interaction and recognition of one’s own species), the general development of the world creates such an impression.

We saw something very similar when the land bridge between North America and South America formed. North America had much larger predators than South America did at the time so when they started to cross the newly formed bridge south bound, it caused the extinction of several species that were unable to adapt. Can't remember many of the details beyond that though.

[@roddyaxolotl8519]

I think it’s good to note that clan 5, which coevolved with clan 1, evolved a highly mobile, almost serpentine growth form, which likely reduced the impact the predators had on it, most other clans produced more typical plants that could be more easily swarmed and consumed.

I love the narration! I think it's interesting that in the final epoch, ones things somewhat reached a stable ecosystem, we can see a few distinct species that are capable of surviving together. Meanwhile, many species which existed early on, before the presence of single-celled predators, are nowhere to be found. Early on we see a lot of creatures that grow rapidly and cover all available space, while in the final epoch, we see many "snake-like" species that grow in a straight line and only occasionally turn or branch. I wonder if a similar phenomenon happened in Earth's evolutionary history. Perhaps during the "Great Oxygenation Event" when the first oxygen-producing organisms evolved and nearly killed all life on Earth.

This is amazing. Btw, I see the "unicellular predators" less of an immune system, and more of a bacterial system (since there's good bacteria). The bacteria in our gut helps break down molecules so we can use the stored energy. But then, when an unfamiliar bad virus or bacteria comes along that we're not used to, it can wipe an entire people (like the Native Americans and smallpox).

You need to bring this to a bigger scale. Something crazy like 2^14 x 2^14 (16384 x 16384), and if your computer can't handle that, then try to turn this program into something that runs on your GPU. I would also love to see you give different species names, and write a little program that makes a chart of how they evolve, or just a table of how they evolved and you turn that into a chart. Then we could see what exactly happened as far as evolution is concerned, and as you would go through the events that took place on the massive grid like you did in this video, you would keeping referencing back to that evolution diagram to show how the evolutionary pressures made the different species evolve into others.

That was great. I love music and game design, but also i want to say some words of improvement to video. In the video there was some point i cannot catch quickly enough and the numbers of clans started to missmatch who is who. I would love to a little longer video with transitions being more often going to all 8 sectors view and zooming back to clan of interest. Also shifting sectors was confusing sometimes and it would be great to be signalized somehow. Also I found the explanation of world difficult and needed some time of constantly rewatching video to catch so i think it would be great to put more focus on that. The most difficult was species description, it would be great to see some examples at begging how every cell works. Thank you again for great video!
