Natural Slection Simulation

Overview

This simulation models natural selection by featuring specimens, each with six distinct traits: sight, size, speed, camouflage, smell, and hearing. These traits determine how specimens move, locate food, and interact with their environment. Specimens that successfully find food before running out of energy can reproduce, passing their traits to the next generation. By running this simulation across multiple generations, we can observe which traits are most advantageous for survival within a given environment. Note having better traits also consumes more energy.

Traits

Sight defines the distance at which a specimen can detect food.
Speed determines how quickly a specimen can move
Size is a crucial factor—if a specimen is more than X% larger than another, it can consume the smaller specimen to gain energy for reproduction.
Hearing enables a specimen to detect nearby predators and flee.
Camouflage increases a prey specimen’s chance of avoiding detection by predators.
Smell enhances a predator’s ability to counteract camouflage, making prey easier to detect.
