This old windows screensaver is one of the best illustrations of artificial life and evolution I've ever seen: http://www.ultimatesavers.com/index.asp?ID=1381 http://www.ultimatesavers.com/index.asp?ID=1381
The source is here, it seems : https://github.com/jondo/primlife https://github.com/jondo/primlife. But I don't know if it runs on modern OSes.
Edit: it seems to run fine with Wine!
- Buttons840 6y agoFinally! I found that screensaver. I've been meaning to recreate it as a learning exercise. I once observed a mass extinction on this screensaver. A very aggressive carnivore (meaning it survived by eating other organisms in the sim), reproduced like crazy, used up all the resources and the died out itself. I only ever observed this once, despite watching the screensaver quite a bit.
