click a creature. drag to wander.

a fresh beginning

small beginnings.
strange futures.

your current world is kept as the previous world.
one deliberate accident

make a variation.

edit the offspring. its parent keeps its own body.
welcome to wildtype

life, with room
for interference.

these creatures have inherited bodies and small neural controllers. they sense food, danger and their habitat, then move, eat and reproduce. mutations make the next generation a little different.

look
click a creature. scroll to zoom. drag empty space to pan. double-click a creature to focus.
interfere
choose a brush and paint food or terrain. introduce grazers and predators. change the environment.
try another future
rewind with the timeline. branch from a checkpoint. compare futures in the branches tab.
fieldwork
complete experiments in the notebook for chips and research levels. archive specimens in the inspector; hatch a copy for 50 chips.
the betting pit
pick one of four creatures and stake lab chips. the first to finish wins; the displayed multiplier includes your stake. research opens dry and low-gravity courses.
the gene machine
100 chips spins three reels. a pair returns 125; a trio returns 600 and a specimen if your collection has room. lab chips have no cash value. below 25 chips, a free field grant keeps you playing.
keep it
worlds and laboratory progress save in this browser. export keeps your habitat, chips, research, collection, and pending race together.

this is an artificial-life model. gravity affects body load and slopes; evolution selects inherited traits. it is not a biological reconstruction. shared online habitats are on the roadmap.
