Genesis - Sandbox Evolution Simulator

Hey folks,

As someone who's always been passionate about both zoology and game development, I thought why not combine the two?

The 'Evolution of species' has always fascinated me, in fact it's what inspired me to pursue graduate studies in evolutionary biology as well. So I built something to explore that curiosity.

Genesis - a sandbox evolution simulator made using the Godot engine.

It lets you watch digital organisms compete for food, pass on traits, mutate, and evolve across generations, all in real time. Genesis is capable of simulating carrying capacities, bottlenecks, extinctions and many other evolutionary dynamics as well but. 

It’s free, open-source (MIT), and something I hope can be both fun and educational for others curious about how evolution works.
