For a first draft of the evolution engine, we have settled on the followed world and creature characteristics:

• 1000*1000 world grid
• Each case starts with a random static value representing feeding power between 0 and 100
• At the end of each turn the feeding power of each case increases by one
• 100 initial adult creatures placed randomly
• Creatures have only adult stage
• Creatures do not have varying characteristics - they are all identical- so there will be no evolution
• Creatures can move one step each turn
• Creatures can see three steps in every direction
• Creatures move toward the case with the highest feeding power in the vision field
• Creatures' heath start at 100
• If the health of a creature falls below 0, it dies at the end of the turn
• Creatures' hunger start at 0
• At the end of each turn the health of a creature is decreased by its hunger
• Creatures' hunger increases by 5 at the end of each turn
• During each turn creatures' hunger is decreased by the feeding power of the case they are on -but cannot fall under 0
• When two creatures are on the same case they reproduce by producing a new creature on a random neighbour case.
• When two creatures are on the same case they share the food.
