Generative Systems: Procreative Cycle
2013
Depending on how many agents are in the ecosystem, a changing fraction of those that collide into each other engage in mating. During mating their hearts grow bigger, body shapes mutate and colors change while spinning, and a small fraction of those produce offspring. Their original shape, size and colors are restored after mating. Newborns grow until they reach a certain size. Once agents reach their maximum size, they diminish in size and their colors change and gradually fade until they cease to exist.
(desired) additional developments:
divide into two sexes; procreate only when two sexes interact
one sex sensing another sex and following track til rejection/procreation
older agents having less chance of bearing children than younger
adding more agents with the click of a mouse at that exact click point
