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 ... like ours it has mountians and lakes ... they search for food and mates ... navigate round obsticles ... and try to avoid preditors ... this thier life ... watch them as they live and grow ...
I should mention they use ncurses & run on linux
the status bar tools ...
x = exit
1 = next bug in line
2 = highest food
3 = highest generation
4 = oldest
5 = highest kills
v = view xy pos of bug
d = display DNA
c = counts gen food
e = edit race & DNA
g = goto current bug
z = display mode stats/counts <-> picture
b = display contents of bug->things[]
h = pan left
j = pan down
k = pan up
l = pan right
w = world stat
s = slower
f = faster
t = turbo ... uses all of the cpu you got
p = pause or unpause
n = single step
bugs may be tuned with the speed setting to use some percent of the cpu by watching top ... slow them until they are useing the amount you desire
of course you actual percentage may very ... it will change as a funtion of population and possibly other cpu useage
