This has some similarities to the "Bluedogs" artificial life simulation that I made during university: https://www.tamale.net/bluedogs/ https://www.tamale.net/bluedogs/ . In Bluedogs, each entity has bytecode which determines its behavior. The simulation churns out random entities which don't know how to move. Finally, it generates one that can turn and its progeny quickly fill the virtual world. Bluedogs also uses color to show geneology.
