Bugs is an experimnet in AI & A-Life ... I have started it as a hobby but who knows one day they may replace all other virtual pets :) ... they live on this doughnut shaped world that has lakes and mountians ... they [6~search for food and mates ... navigate round obsticles ... and try to avoid the odd preditor ... this thier life ... watch them as they live and grow ... origally the wandered round aimlessly but they have much better brains now ... actually exibate chase/run behavior and stuff ... perhaps I'll introduce a herding drive at some point ...
I should
mention they run on Linux and FreeBSD (V609+)
to get yours ...
1) download (from an above link)
2) extract the files from
the arcive
3) twiddle with the souce ... your option
4)
make
5) run it :)
the status bar tools ... (not yet
redone for V6xx)
