Hot new release: LifeFLOW version 2.4!!! :)

This huge release fixes an outstanding issue that occurred when one creature ate another one, so it makes LifeFLOW waaaaay better! :)

It also introduces the first new LifePathBranch creature type, which evolved from LifePath predecessors and has already had an important role.

LifePathBranch1! :)

LifePathBranch1 split off from LifePath9, and enabled parent-safe eating! :)

This creature has a heteromorphic path structure. It moves fairly simply, preferring groups. Favorite activities including flowing, eating, and reproducing! :)

LifeFLOW v2.2! :)

LifeFLOW development! :)

Wow! :)
Looking back on LifeFLOW development so far, while looking forward to the upcoming version 1.0 release, it's amazing how far we've come already! :)
When I first started jotting down some notes, I had several inspirations in mind. A few include an idea from when I was younger and wanted to make a more biologically inspired game world to illustrate Darwin's ideas, as well as Conway's Game of Life, which is more mathematical. I suppose this falls somewhere in between, as a physics game instead of biology or math.
Today we have the following:

That already reflects a good chunk of the initial vision. Of course, there are still tons of features and creatures to improve to make it closer to that ideal, and the ideal itself evolves as we make progress. Anyways, it's quite heady to create and watch the birth and development of this fun life game!!! :)
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
