Watch life evolve in the palm of your hand! (And destroy it when it displeases you...)

Oddly hypnotic and relaxing, Artificial Life is a simulation of the growth and evolution of microorganisms. Initially, each organism is given a random set of rules governing its behavior. If the rules end up being useful for survival, the organism may live long enough to mate with another organism and pass its genetic code on to some offspring.

Over time, the organisms with the most useful behaviors will pass on their genetic code, leading to interesting patterns of behavior unfolding before your eyes - flocking behaviors, solitary predatory tactics, scavenging, and hiding are some examples - and all this behavior is evolving from total randomness.

Pan and zoom using using touch and pinch gestures to explore this virtual world. You have control over 10 attributes of the world allowing for much experimentation with this simulation. And, if you don't like how some of the organisms are behaving, you can always resort to the finger of death and destroy that which displeases you.

Queue up some music with your iPod app and then launch this app for some relaxing times in the microscopic world of Artificial Life.
