in May i wrote code for a java applet that I can't really describe except that it's a wraparound black battlefield for virtual insects to fight it out. You write the code that defines how it behaves (it can only use certain functions I built in to examine its input and command its output).

I just re-discovered it, it's quite elaborate. It handles like thousands of little colored insect dots moving around at once, shooting bombs at each other and whatnot. I already have pre-made a bunch of different insects. It also records population and you can enter graph mode.

I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested. The syntax is in java and is quite simple, it's basically handling its position and nearby neighbors and reacting how you want it to react

I have 0 experience with Java, but hands-on is the best way to learn. This could be fun.

Sounds interesting. It's been unpredictable when and how much time I get away from work, but I'll keep an eye out for it if we reach critical mass while I'm free-ish.
